Are there parts of your story you wish you could forget? Do you feel like no matter how much you try, you’re never enough? Does your anxiety, shame, and trauma feel crippling? This is a painful place to be, but you don’t have to do this alone. I provide an exploratory space where you can unpack and heal from some of the most difficult parts of your story. As a black, male therapist, I understand how your background and unique context impacts your life. As we explore your story, I’ll help you move from trauma to healing, shame to self-compassion, and anxiety to freedom.

I’m particularly passionate about working individuals, couples and creatives, specializing in trauma, racial identity development, social anxiety, and self worth. As an integrative therapist, I'm also open to a faith-based approach for clients seeking a therapist with a Christian background.

As a poet and storyteller, I believe everyone has a unique voice and a perspective that matters. You might be in a painful place to now, but you don’t have to stay there. I’m a truth teller, with a style that is exploratory, creative, genuine, and empathetic. Everyone has a story. Let's explore yours.
