A family member committed suicide, Mark was there to help
I initially came to therapy as I had a depression. I was feeling empty and sad inside all the time, and my wife suggested going to see Mark. She had found him on Google.

“I highly recommend Mark – he applies a wide and rich palette of therapy approaches, ranging from more classic psychotherapy to spiritual and ancestral engagements, from dream analysis to very hands-on and practical advice.”
S.P., age 52
As my psychotherapist, Mark provided a compassionate and structured space for me to explore the intricate layers of my unconscious mind, particularly through the lens of dream patterns and grief.
My dreams often served as a gateway to deeper self-awareness, reflecting emotions, unresolved conflicts, and hidden truths embedded within me about my family history.
Through our work together, Mark helped me uncover the symbolic meanings within my dreams, allowing me to connect with my subconscious and gain valuable insights.
This process was not about him imposing interpretations but empowering me to understand my own inner narratives. Over time, these revelations illuminated patterns, clarified challenges, and opened pathways for meaningful transformation.
From loss to gaining insight
When I faced the devastating loss of a family member to suicide, this type of loss brought a unique blend of shock, guilt, anger, and profound sadness.
Mark gently guided me as I processed these emotions. He worked with me to address the lingering questions and explore the ways this loss impacted my relationships and sense of self.
Grieving was an intensely personal journey, and Mark’s approach was always tailored to my unique needs. His compassionate guidance helped me find meaning amidst the tragedy, integrate my emotions, and slowly move toward healing and acceptance.
Through our work, I was able to reconnect with hope, rediscover a sense of purpose, and find moments of peace, even in the aftermath of profound loss.
