About Mark

My name is Mark, and I work with adults who find themselves at a crossroads in their careers. Clients who work with me want to improve the quality of their relationships in all areas of life - including their relationships with work - knowing that this will enhance their daily living and give them a renewed hope for the future.

Using my background working in career development paired with my strengths-based, trauma-informed and solutions-focused approach to helping my clients, I can partner with you to develop a map that helps you feel better about where you're going and how you'll get there.

I would love to take the time to hear what's on your mind - and help you leverage your unique strengths to take a step or two in the direction of your dreams. I encourage you to reach out and schedule a time to chat to see if we would be a good fit. I work with clients residing in California - both in Oakland, CA, and virtually.
