Hello, There is hidden potential for greatness in all persons. Often when you have thoughts or feelings that are causing problems for you, it is easy to think something is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect, it is that part of your mind that needs to be fixed and I would love to help you do that. I truly love helping families be strong units. There are no "bad children," only bad behavior. In both children and adults, bad behavior often comes from unmet needs and fears. With children, it could also come from undiagnosed learning disabilities. Let's figure this out together.

My ideal clients feel emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. Many are navigating ongoing stress, life transitions, caregiving roles, or the lasting effects of trauma. They want relief, clarity, and a deeper understanding of what’s happening internally—not just quick fixes. They are seeking therapy to feel more regulated, emotionally balanced, and confident in managing life’s demands, and to move out of survival mode into a healthier, more intentional way of living.

You’re overwhelmed with expectations and responsibilities. Though you appear to “have it all together,” that doesn’t match how you feel. Having others rely on you is a great compliment, but it also brings heavy pressure. You desperately want change but are afraid of what others will think, if you will be judged or if you will lose relationships. Who will you be if you are different from who you are now? There’s only one answer…YOURSELF; the person you truly are. Learn to set boundaries, invest in your self-awareness, and live by your values. Learn how to take care of yourself & still take care of your responsibilities. (Yes you can)

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.

Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.

Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
