Therapy can often be an intimidating space for people, so as a cis-Black male therapist, my theoretical orientation/approach to therapy is from a liberation and social justice lens, working through an anti-oppressive framework, which is trauma-informed, to make clients feel a sense of belonging while working with me. In working from a Liberation Psychology lens, I am able to better assist clients from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other intentionally marginalized backgrounds in identifying and managing anxieties and other stressors/mental health needs from their experiences of oppression, trauma, and other sociopolitical factors.
I value holding space when needed and helping my clients work toward the social and emotional goals they have set. It is of great importance to advocate for my clients when they need advocating, whether in sessions or out of sessions through social activism, advocation in school or job settings, or empowering them to advocate for themselves.
I have extensive experience utilizing CBT, ACT, ERP, and other evidenced based frameworks while working with clients of many groups & ages, who may experience a wide range of behavioral and emotional concerns, such as anxiety, stress, ADHD, low self-esteem, difficulty with life transitions, trauma, depression, grief/loss, and academic exploration.
