Wherever you are in your journey to a fuller self, I appreciate and admire your courage in seeking help. Whether you're looking for support for yourself or your family, I am here to help you find new ways to manage your emotions, deal with stressful relationships or transitions, and overcome grief and trauma. Whether your concerns are manifesting as anxiety, stress, depression, or substance use issues, there is a different way forward than continuing to push through. I work with men of color who are managing intersectional stress, as well as clients from all backgrounds, including individual adults, teens, parents, and families.
My approach is rooted in a grounded and compassionate stance that meets each individual where they are. I work hard to establish a trusting working relationship founded in collaborative goal setting that helps guide our work together. I have training in CBT, TF-CBT, DBT and psychodynamic therapies and take an integrative approach to meet each person's needs.
Whether you are new to therapy or searching for the right fit, I am excited to hear from you and/or your family. Taking the steps to start this work can be difficult, and I am here to support along the way. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about my practice and how I can help you create a life you truly love living.
