Sighs, yes, relationships are hard, especially if one of you has a habit that’s also impacting your relationship, it can make it even worse. I know you don’t want to hear this man, but it’s the truth, it is affecting you and your relationship. That is why couples counseling is so important, but it is also important to address the individual as well, because you are one whole person coming together as one. Which is exactly how I like to do my couples counseling sessions. Because you had these problems before y’all got together and chances are you will have them when they are gone. If you don’t do something about it of course.
Being a better version of yourself is something that takes hard work and dedication. Believe me, it is a life journey that takes time, and it is one that you can’t do alone. Which is exactly why I invite Him into every session, because man cannot live off bread and water alone, we need The LORD to help us grow, in whatever way that means for YOU.
As a BIPOC man, I do hope to change the way that some black and brown people view counseling. Because, mental health is important to all of us. However, I also know that you have to be ready. So, If YOU are ready to do the work and you’re serious about getting started, don’t hesitate to reach out to me today. Right here on Psychology Today. Let’s do this!

My typical clients tend to be individuals that have a general idea of what's going on with them, and they are just looking for tools to help them effectively navigate the problem. Most of my clients that remain open and consistent with counseling are on a maintenance plan within 6 months of coming to counseling.

I often take a spiritually integrated approach to counseling. I will begin by building a relationship with you during the assessment process. I do this by asking questions, and listening to understand, in order to find out the root cause of your issues and ways to help you. I will also gently challenge your way of thinking to help you gain a better understanding of what's actually going on.
