Create a Life you LOVE Living

Do you LOVE your life? Do you wake up each day filled with gratitude for all that you have? Do you feel like your life is the highest, best expression of you?
 

OR

Do you struggle with anxiety, feelings of frustration, or even despair?

Do you feel like there is more to your life, but it is somehow just out of your reach?

I have worked for over 2  decades with people JUST LIKE YOU, people who know there is more for them but are not sure how to achieve the things they long for...
 

I can help you, too. I teach from experience, as well as a strong clinical and academic background, but more importantly, I teach from my HEART. Let's have a chat!

Educational Background

Bachelor of Science, Cultural Anthropology

College of Charleston

Charleston, South Carolina

The study of human culture fascinated me as a young scholar. Anthropology traces human origins and customs over the span of known history. When I discovered anthropology, I felt a hunger to learn more about human development, and customs, and belief systems.

Bachelor of Science, Psychology

Carlos Albizu University,

Miami, Florida

By the time I returned to formal academic studies 8 years after the completion of my first degree, I knew my purpose was to help people. Psychology deepened my understanding of how the human mind operates and whetted an even greater appetite for knowledge and understanding. I became even more passionate about learning HOW to APPLY this knowledge to really help people see REAL results in their lives.

Master of Social Work

Barry University,

Miami Shores, Florida

Working towards my MSW degree was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my lifetime. I was blessed and privileged to be surrounded by strong women who mentored and supported me. This support was absolutely critical for my success in this highly competitive program. Social work allowed me to further develop my skills for helping and understanding people.

About Dr Mark De Santis.

When I was child, I had become ill with very a high fever. I recalled being placed in an ice bath at the hospital. The pediatrician had saved my life.  I believe this influenced me toward a path of helping people. As I was working in trauma as an ER tech while attending college and graduate school, I found myself gravitating towards issues related to brain behaviors, emotional overlay and trauma. This guided my outlook about the direction of my life. Projecting my path towards Neuropsychology, Medical Psychology and Suicidology. In addition to clinical work, I have been a professor at several colleges and universities teaching undergraduates and graduate students, as well as training interns and residents. Additionally, I have published several articles and worked in administration at hospitals, outpatient rehab and colleges.
