My focus is a client centered approach, assisting people with mental health wellness. Helping people get through those life bumps in the road. It happens to all of us. We can choose to sweep feelings and/or emotions under the rug and not talk about it which can eventually turn into lashing-out behaviors. Unresolved emotions can be the underlining of acting out behaviors and at times can be a leading cause of self-medicating with substances. Taking about things withheld can start to help alleviate possible anxieties, depression and other mental health challenges. I’m a Clinical therapist with over 12+ years of experience.

I help individuals and couples understand and overcome barriers that get in the way of living a meaningful and fulfilling life; this can include professional, emotional, or interpersonal challenges. My approach draws on narrative and cognitive based principles, that value the understanding of how our experiences, self-awareness, and relationships impact how we cope with life. I believe the process of therapy is one that encourages collaboration and curiosity, and in doing so creates a hospitable environment to explore a variety of life experiences and achieve a healthy life balance.

My clients desire to gain better self-understanding, feel "stuck” in their current situations, are experiencing significant life transitions, suffer from anxiety or depression, believe that life should be better than it is right now, or want to break generational chains and confront identity-based traumas. As a Black male therapist, my lived experiences allow me to walk with anyone who's experienced marginalization, giving them a safe space to process pain and develop tools to reclaim their dignity. All I need from you is your commitment to the journey!

When we start working together, we’ll take time to really understand what’s been weighing on you, what keeps getting in the way and what you’re hoping for in your life. From there, we’ll create a plan that feels clear, doable and genuinely supportive. I pay close attention to the survival strategies you’ve built over time—often ones that once protected you but now feel limiting—and we’ll work together to gently shift the patterns that no longer serve you.
My approach is relational, warm and grounded in trauma-informed and somatic work. So instead of staying only in conversation, we’ll slow down and notice what’s happening inside

I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, broken relationships, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, financial recklessness, and gambling. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

You've been carrying something heavy for a long time. Maybe anxiety has become your default setting, or you're walking through a divorce and trying to find solid ground again. Perhaps you've struggled with your relationship with food or your body for years and you're completely exhausted from fighting yourself every single day. Or something in your closest relationships keeps feeling off and you can't quite name why. Some people come in knowing exactly what they need. Others just know something has to shift and they're finally ready to take that first step. Either way, you are in the right place and I'd love to help you get there.

Your mind never seems to stop. You replay conversations, question whether you made the right decision, worry about making mistakes, or feel trapped in cycles of overthinking. Maybe you're dealing with intrusive thoughts that don't match your values, panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere, or perfectionism that's making work and relationships exhausting. The very qualities that helped you succeed may now be keeping you stuck. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults and ambitious kids. They don't need help becoming more successful - they need help managing the anxiety that gets in the way.

Therapy can be a very good thing for many. However, no one wants to be in therapy forever. I find many people end up spending way too long with not much gain, and finding themselves needing to go back to the "expert" to navigate their daily circumstances. My goal is to shortcut that process by tackling the source of the symptoms and then making YOU the expert of your own life and experience. Growth can happen. Joy and fulfillment are possible. Congratulations on taking the first step. I am so looking forward to joining you on your journey and helping you be the master of your destiny.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
