I am a Black male clinical psychologist providing therapeutic services across the DMV. I have a passion for work with clients who experience issues with self-esteem, grief, loss, anxiety, stress, and trauma. I am particularly invested in providing supportive therapeutic services to clients of color who struggle to maintain a healthy sense of self in the context of constant feelings of inadequacy. I work with adolescents and adults to examine the experiences that have caused self-damaging thoughts and reorient them toward a more positive relationships with themselves, their environments and the people around them.

Mental health is more than a profession to me it is personal. Meeting people where they are and helping them get to where they want to be is my passion. I use motivational interviewing to connect with and engage my clients in a safe space of acceptance and compassion. With this evidence-based practice we work together to find internal motivation to assist with making changes they want to see in their lives. Life is hard, change is harder, but I know with support and the right tools anything is possible.

My priority is to provide you with a safe place to bring your truth. Together we will work to create strategies and interventions to ease the challenges you face. I believe that you are the most important person in the room, and should feel heard, felt, and affirmed. For many people long term illness or sudden changes in physical abilities can leave you with a sudden shock of where to go from here? There is the physical work to grow and rebuild, but also the emotional component of grief. Reflecting on past abilities, friendships, romantic relationships, and the anxieties of what the future may hold as you learn a new everyday.

Does life constantly feel overwhelming? Do you have past or present trauma that seems to affect everything you think or do? Do you feel like your partner never listens to or understands you? Or does it feel like they just don’t care about you or your needs at all? These are all common experiences for individuals and couples. The good news is, there is hope and help. I can help you work through that trauma so it does not affect you constantly. I can teach you and your partner how to communicate more effectively so that you can meet each other’s needs and get back to that loving place you were in at the start of the relationship.

Therapy is not education or advice-giving. People are unique, so elements of therapy are tailored because healing is different for everybody. My treatment approach is an atmosphere were you can speak your mind safely, to someone who listens, listens intelligently, and cares is important. I believe a successful counseling experience depends on the therapists ability to understand and respect the unique concerns, background, and context of each patient. I am committed to achieving such an understanding in every counseling relationship.
