Marc has a structured approach to counselling and always makes every effort to collaborate with you to ensure that you get the most out of each and every session!

What is waiting for you once you are living your values will be a feeling of being complete because you have placed all the important pieces of yourself into a unified whole!

Values
The values that I believe are most important in the therapeutic relationship are honesty, collaboration, trust and openness. I strive to ensure that each an every person I work with feels deeply understood and recognized for the unique individual that they are. It is very important to me that you feel safe and accepted while you are so courageously pursuing the best version of yourself in therapy!
Special Areas for me
A specific area that is near to my heart is working with individuals suffering from anxiety and depression. I really enjoy working with teens, young adults and professionals on reducing their anxiety and decreasing the influence of their depression through meaningful collaboration and teaching of skills that will support your on-going ability to overpower your anxiety and depression!
My Therapeutic Approach is grounded in a few different types of therapy. Primarily, I draw from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I customize my approach based on your strengths, values and goals while relying on the most Evidence-Based approaches to ensure that a holistic treatment plan is developed to best meet your needs.
