"Mario is an incredible therapist. My friends, family, and I have seen significant improvement in my mental health since I began working with him. I feel so fortunate to have found him and am grateful for his support and guidance."

"Mario is fantastic. From day 1, he’s never made me feel like I had to pretend or hide things. I’ve had some not so great experiences with therapy in my past but Mario makes me want to tell everyone that they just need the right person to listen and then it’s fantastic."
"Mario is super helpful. He is transparent, kind and has a direct approach with a gentle delivery. He has helped me immensely and we’re only a month in. He is knowledgeable and speaks with confidence in his explanations but, makes it easy to understand."

"Mario offered just what I needed, when I needed it. I was feeling lost and hopeless due to multiple losses of loved ones. He was the ear I needed when my loved ones couldn’t be…..they’re too close!!!"

"Mario is by far the best therapist I have ever spoken to. He listens closely to the issues I'm going through and is able to provide great input and action items that are helping me improve relationships and my overall personal mental health. I've been meeting weekly with Mario for a few weeks and can tell a major positive difference in how I'm thinking and handling difficult situations."

"Mario has been a spectacular help ... is showing me how to handle the hard choices that life throws your way. I feel as if I have grown a lot in the few months we have talked."
JUL 05, 2023
"Mario is absolutely wonderful. Most importantly, he listens and understands. He gives examples that are easy to understand. He is gentle and yet does transition sometimes to difficult topics, acknowledging that they are difficult. As a result, I have grown and changed so, so much."
DEC 04, 2023
"Mario does an awesome job of quickly identifying how to guide the session based on what’s on my mind good or bad so we have plenty of time to discuss In an hour session. I always find myself with a better sense of direction and so relieved."
Jan 03, 2024
"Mario is very patient throughout his therapy sessions and direct with his feedback. I appreciate his down-to-earth but insightful approach in active sessions, which has helped me tremendously. I would recommend him to others without hesitation."
JAN 30, 2024
"Mario challenges me to continue to work on myself. He has a large tool bag in which to pull concepts from. He’s very intuitive and has gotten to know me more than any therapist I’ve ever worked with. I trust that he is focused on my mental health and helping me achieve my goals."
FEB 06, 2025
"I've really enjoyed working with Mario over the past few months. He has helped me grow and climb out of the negative pit I felt my mind was in. My outlook on life has made a huge switch from negative to positive working with him. I feel I understand many situations that troubled me in the past and can now process and move on from them helping me to continue to improve my mental health. Very thankful for all of Mario's help and look forward to continuing to work with him."
APR 06, 2023
"Finding Mario has turned out to be one of the best things to happen for me in this stage of my life. He has helped me transition through becoming pregnant, preparing to be a mother, settling old resentment and pushing through the difficult memories that followed me. He has helped me learn how to process through my challenges, allowing me to come back to my emotional hurdles as many times as I needed. In doing this, I could conquer them and truly move past them for the first time in my life. He has helped me be a better mother, partner, daughter and friend, (not only to others but myself as well). At the end of the day, therapy can be an emotional and extremely personal journey. I can’t imagine going through that gracefully with anyone else, he’s truly one of a kind and I can’t recommend him enough."

Christ follower • husband • dad • counselor
I've been providing therapy to individuals and couples for over 10 years. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including private practice, community-based, school-based and now have begun my telehealth private practice. I never take it lightly when someone decides to begin counseling to address some of the things they may have been dealing with and/or avoiding.
My approach is one that typically incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy while incorporating spiritual principles to illuminate truths. Techniques and interventions are aimed at getting to the core or roots of a problem. I believe that many symptoms are a manifestation of a deeper problem.
I can help, let's talk about it.
