Accepting NEW clients! As human beings, we are told that we're broken, flawed, and unworthy. But my lived experience has been absolutely the opposite--we are whole, intentional, and powerful beings. This truth has been clouded by our traumas, histories, and social beliefs. External disapproval, hate, and cultural forces have often been deterrents in my own journey. With support from my community, and finding the strength to heal my traumas, I have been able to find my path--both connected to others but also uniquely mine.

Do you ever feel disconnected from yourself or others? Although our country has made progress in raising mental health awareness, a great deal of stigma remains. In many communities, these issues are often shrouded by silence and shame, fostering mental health minimization. I have experience working with individuals and family relationships. I work with problems that arise in blended families, work, health, and career, trying to create better relationships and less conflict. Through role-plays, Gestalt techniques, and mindfulness, you can gain the power to reflect on your feelings, understand yourself and feel better.

You refuse to sleep walk. You want to do better and feel better and live life intentionally, authentically, and consciously. You might be focused on enhancing your relationships with intimate partners, thriving and loving midlife, getting fulfillment, meaning and purpose in your career, or getting relief from depression or anxiety. Or you might simply want to understand yourself better and build emotional intelligence. If you want to partner on your journey with a very (30+ years) experienced therapist who has invested in his own professional and personal development, I welcome you to contact me.

Are you or your teenage daughter feeling lost and uncertain about the future? Maybe you're navigating a new phase of life as your children leave home, unsure of your purpose or value.

I specialize in therapy for teen girls, women, college students, and young professionals who are seeking hope for a brighter tomorrow. Together, we'll explore your strengths, values, and potential, uncovering the resilience already within you. Let's work towards a future where you feel calm, confident,

Accepting NEW clients! I am deeply motivated to contribute to the underrepresented number of male therapists available to support men and men of color. As an Associated Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of community-based experience, I have dedicated myself to working with at-risk children/teens and system-impacted families in underserved communities. I firmly believe that with the right attitude, willingness, and a seed of faith, we can effectively navigate our trials. My approach to therapy is deeply personalized and rooted in integrity and human connection.

I hear and see you! I have personal experience aiding clients of all ages, but have worked extensively with teens. I have worked with clients who faced issues with depression, anxiety, self worth, relentless inner chatter, complicated relationships, transitional life stages, infertility, public speaking, the global pandemic and generational cultural expectations which differ from one's own values. What everyone does have in common is that they are looking for a better relationship with themselves and others. I understand you because of my experience and I know how to assist you in overcoming your life challenges. You are not alone.

Finding a therapist you trust is a challenge and scheduling your first session takes courage. You’ve taken the first step toward healing and personal growth. I’m offering you a safe, nurturing and accepting place to freely express your feelings, thoughts and experiences. My vocation is to guide and support individuals like yourself to better understand themselves at a deeper level through the transformative power of compassion and empathy. With commitment to therapy, we will explore your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others, addressing behavioral and emotional issues that are potentially holding you back.

Harmony. When you think of harmony, one might picture different things coming together that work so well simultaneously and you feel a sense of peace. When things aren’t working well together, there is a clash or dissonance, causing more stress and more problems. I came across a video on Instagram from Nedra Glover Tawwab (nedratawwab) where she talked about the difference between balance and harmony. You see, my ultimate goal in life was to achieve balance when in fact what I was envisioning was harmony. “Harmony is getting things to flow in your life in a cohesive way. Balance is getting everything to be equal."
