Counseling Approach

Mark provides trauma-informed, person-centered counseling tailored to each individual or relationship. He helps clients explore how past experiences, communication patterns, values, and self-perception may influence their current relationships.

His training in mediation also supports couples in communicating more clearly, navigating disagreements, and creating collaborative goals. Mark respects each client’s autonomy and does not treat consensual nontraditional relationship structures as problems that need to be corrected.

I am an LPC Associate from the Houston Texas area, I am a Certified Addictions Coach through Light University, and trained in mediation. I specialize in couples work, alternative relationship dynamics including ethical non-monogamy/polyamory, trauma, and self-image. I am available for virtual sessions weekdays in the evenings after 5pm CDT and weekends from 8am to 4pm CDT to accommodate busy life schedules.

I specialize in helping individuals communicate in relationships through a trauma-informed, person-centered lens. Together, let’s create goals that allow you to interact with the world and those around you in a manner that aligns with your values.

You deserve relationship counseling that respects your identity, values, agreements, and chosen relationship structure. Contact Mark to discuss what you are looking for and determine whether he may be the right counselor for you or your relationship.
