Listen in as Marc and I talk about how our mess can become our message, how one of our stressors in mission-driven work is the recognition that we hold other people's lives and livelihoods in our hands, and how trauma informs our choices of and in our work lives.

He helps clients that have a harmful relationship to their inherent aggression or who are stuck in the pain of their repetition compulsions. Many of his clients struggle with addiction, anxiety, and self-sabotage.

His therapeutic style can best be described as irreverent with surprising moments of profound depth.
