As a Black male therapist, I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating identity, systemic inequities, and societal expectations. I work primarily with emerging adults to middle-aged adults, particularly Black-identifying clients and people of color, helping them explore identity formation, build resilience, and overcome life’s challenges. My own experiences have shaped my belief in the power we all have to overcome adversity, and I am passionate about helping others find their strength and reach beyond their current circumstances.
I specialize in stress management, ADHD, and racial trauma, offering compassionate, nonjudgmental care. I also treat depression and help clients navigate complex mental health challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, using motivational interviewing and skill-building to provide practical tools for meaningful progress and lasting change.
Therapy with me starts with listening and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing and finding solutions. I enjoy working with motivated clients ready to embrace change. I’m passionate about telehealth for its accessibility and convenience, supporting clients in managing stress, exploring identity, and overcoming adversity.
