​
A Buddhist approach to healing & growth

​Welcome!
​
​Contemplative Psychotherapy & Coaching
 
Because of the coronavirus outbreak across Virginia, and the Governor's recommendation to limit person to person contact, I am going to a mostly virtual mode of practice. As of March 16th, and until restrictions are lifted, I am seeing  therapy/coaching clients on HIPAA compliant video platforms, like Zoom, or talking by phone. In some urgent cases, however, I will continue to see clients in person at my office on Park Street.
 

My specialty is in helping people who want to include their spiritual life in their approach to growth and healing. Having many years of experience as a counselor and spiritual practitioner, I offer a unique service to people willing to dive deep into the roots of pain for healing — and reach the heights of living through realizing their potential.

There is an artful balance between the yin and yang of the material and spiritual worlds, and it is possible to cultivate a consciousness of humility and ethics, while still reaching our heartfelt goals of love, creativity, security, and community.

This is no easy task, and sometimes we need the insight, feedback, and support of a helper who is caring and knowledgeable. 

Someone who can sit with us under the 'Wisdom Tree,' who can help us find the resources within ourselves, the awareness, compassion, and wisdom that is too often locked inside.

Someone to help us move from
​coping to high functioning,
from egotistical to humble,
from over-thinking to clarity and intuition,
from severity to humor and lightheartedness.

"Happiness is not a simple thing. There are many levels. In Buddhism, for instance, there is a reference to the four factors of fulfillment, or happiness: wealth, worldly satisfaction, spirituality, and enlightenment. Together they embrace the totality of an individual's quest for happiness."
        His Holiness the Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness

What Clients Are Saying

"Mark is an amazing coach with the added bonus of having over 25 years of experience as a professional therapist. I had the privilege of being coached by Mark as part of our training with International Coach Federation. During one of the most personally challenging seasons of my life, Mark was able to keep me centered and focused on what i needed to press through it all. His presence was authentic and full of compassion. His questions and council were spot on, always mindful of the importance of moving forward. I highly recommend Mark as a coach for anyone who desires to reach more of their potential and greater results in their lives."
