Hello, I'm Marc, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PhD. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with clients from various backgrounds and age groups, helping them navigate through life's complexities. My approach to therapy is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which I find incredibly effective in addressing a wide range of issues. I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that is both supportive and challenging, allowing my clients to feel comfortable while also encouraging growth and change.
I specialize in treating addiction, anger management, antisocial behavior, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, life transitions, PTSD, stress, trauma, and suicidal ideation or self-harming behaviors. My extensive experience in these areas has equipped me with the tools and empathy needed to handle even the most challenging cases.
People often tell me that they find me very easy to talk to, yet they appreciate my professional and competent approach. I strive to build a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, fostering a space where they can openly discuss their concerns and work towards meaningful change. My background in dealing with substance abuse issues has given me a deep understanding and empathy for those struggling with addiction, and I am committed to providing the support and strength they need to overcome these challenges.
On a personal note, I value family immensely. Raising my daughters has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and it has taught me the importance of resilience and support. These values are integral to my practice, and I bring them into every session with my clients.
If you're looking for a therapist who is both approachable and experienced, I would be honored to work with you. Let's take the first step towards your journey of healing and growth together.
