At Genesis Hope for Growth, I work with everyday people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something different—especially individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationships, and identity, with a strong focus on men of color while welcoming all. People come to me seeking relief, clarity, and a place where they can be real without judgment. I meet them with compassion, cultural awareness, and practical tools that help them rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with purpose and hope.
My practice can assist you with many issues, from depression, anxiety, low self esteem, anger issues, health and wellness problems and peer relationship issues. Have a wealth of experience with mental illness, addictions, emotional disturbances, military, including the treatment of PTSD, and specialize in substance abuse and criminal justice issues.
Provide a variety of evidence based therapeutic techniques, based entirely on what YOU, the client, are comfortable with. Because I treat a variety of populations, no two treatment plans are the same. Short term or longer, more intensive plans - whatever fits your needs, your schedule, and your goals.
