Now I have the privilege to devote my full time to mental health counseling. My focus is to help families and individuals navigate through life's challenges.

I strongly live with a great call to reach beyond self and understand that suffering can be our greatest asset. If we have the capacity to learn and grow from our experiences we have the capacity to improve our lives, improve our families, and improve our communities. As a African American, father, son, uncle and brother, from bondage to slavery, the phases of change, bring new hope, change that lasts, forsake old behaviors and do things differently. A value-based life is fulfilled life, people live out their lives in line with their values, it engenders a sense of well-being, in multiple communities, building better relationships.

I work with those struggling with confidence/self-esteem/self-compassion, those interested in working on emotion identification and regulation, and those struggling with inattentiveness/focus difficulties. I help those who want to build up their coping skills toolkit. I am interested in working with those striving to identify and live aligned with their values and eager to engage in therapy. I am comfortable with people who might be the first generation willing to engage and trust the therapeutic relationship. I want to work with someone who wants to find balance and acceptance in a life of suffering and joy.

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy and opening up to someone new can be incredibly challenging. I like to make therapy fun and I use a lot of humor :) The clients I typically work with are struggling in their relationships, are Veterans/first responders, and may experience adjustment stress. I also work with couples/throuples/non-traditional relationships and am poly/kink-friendly. I served in the military and have deployed and I find that makes it easier for my Vets and their families to connect with me and vice versa.
