Starting therapy can feel like a huge step. You deserve a confidential space where you feel truly seen and understood. As a Black, queer, cisgender man, my personal journey to mental wellness taught me how vital it is to work with a therapist who is safe, relatable, and authentic. I bring that commitment—and a focus on what makes you uniquely you—to every session.
I help clients navigate the complexity of their relationships, process past experiences, and manage the stresses of daily life.
My practice is grounded in Person-Centered and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This means we actively collaborate to define your personal goals and build your emotional intelligence. This partnership empowers you to develop a compassionate relationship with yourself, leading to the confidence to establish meaningful and authentic connections with others.
