Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #148015
Passion
Through our shared humanity and experiences Marc values our interconnectedness. Finding healing through human connectedness is powerful and transformative. Our relationships matter!
Although our individual journeys may be filled with past hurts, disappointments and pain, Marc is committed to providing a dedicated therapeutic space designed to help clients explore and work through emotions, traumas, and challenges. A creative thinker, his genuine care and empathy for others foster a strong therapeutic relationship, creating a safe and trusting space for healing.
Approach
Marc integrates multiple approaches based on the needs and preferences of the client. He employs a FOCAL emphasis across multiple modalities that explores themes of active forgiveness, open communication, and acts of love to assist in the individual restoration process and healthy repair of damaged relationships. Marc’s extensive military background is a natural fit for his utilization of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify small steps and practical solutions to promote positive change and improve client well-being. His collaboration with clients through a CBT/DBT lens helps identify and question distorted thinking, foster the development of positive and adaptive thoughts, and employ behavioral techniques to address challenges.
