If you identify as Queer and Black and you are tired of being tired, I am here to support you.
Queer Black Angels (QBA) is dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of Queer Black folx. As a Queer Black Cis-gendered male, I know the pain and isolation of navigating systems that claim to support my success, health and wellness and fail to adequately do so due to their lack of understanding the significance of my Queerness and Blackness. I understand all too well the trauma, anxiety, depression and burnout that comes with this experience. Fortunately, I also know the relief, peace and joy of being truly seen, heard and understood by a fellow Queer Black Angel.

My areas of expertise include psychotherapy and psychopharmacology for the following issues: depression, anxiety disorders, LGBTQ mental health, relationship and work difficulties, overwhelming stress and trauma, and ADHD.
I specialize in the treatment of adults with a range of mental health concerns. I treat clients in a professional and confidential setting that feels safe and non-judgmental. My practice draws upon a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies and utilizes psychiatric medications if appropriate. I believe that for any treatment to be effective, it must be built upon a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship that reflects each client's individual needs and personal values. I believe in a down-to-earth and transparent approach to psychiatry that views genuine human connection as the foundation of any treatment.

I am a proud ally and psychiatric provider to those who identify as racial minorities, queer, or other marginalized and vulnerable groups.
Are you tired of providers who don’t make time to listen to you? Providers who don’t even take time to ask how you are truly doing? As a philosophy, I believe that you should have a voice in your psychiatric care. Together you and I will create a plan that is individually tailored and attainable for you. As a compassionate provider, I am the sounding board that silently guides and walks with you. Providing quality care through initial assessments, medication management, and psychotherapy is my passion.

Seeking out mental health treatment can be a daunting process—one that involves exploration of identity and major life transitions. I enjoy working with patients navigating the impact of life transitions (starting a new career, adjusting to a new school, ending/beginning relationships, experiencing loss, adjusting to medical illness) on their overall mental health. I have significant experience working with individuals of diverse backgrounds ( LGBTQIA+ affirming) and strive to understand your unique community and family system. My goal is to help you identify your individual strengths and core values.
