You want to be seen, heard, and understood. Most therapists do that. But what if therapy is supposed to provide more? Therapy should help you understand your life story, resolve your emotional difficulties, strengthen your relationships, and fulfill your potential-- all so you can cultivate a life you love. I've helped hundreds of people facing difficult paths of grief, anger , fear, conflict, and shame reach a deeper experience of gratitude, peace, love, and fulfillment in their lives. Therapy is hard work, but not harder than living with unaddressed pain and in dysfunctional patterns.

Jamaal is a mental health professional committed to helping others reach their mental health goals. This may include building healthier relationships, working towards self-actualization, or managing symptoms. Jamaal’s work focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance in which non-judgmental honesty, and integration of the “here and now” existential framework, helps bring about clarity and confidence from within. This approach has been effective in addressing unwanted behaviors or beliefs, helping overcome grief, anger , or pain, and in bringing about positive change and motivation with those who actively engage.

Depression, anger , anxiety, and a a multitude of other conditions can be the result of traumatic experiences that an individual has survived. These experiences untreated however, can severely impact the quality of life that someone was accustomed to previously. There is hope in navigating these situations and restoring a sense of balance and growth, instead of being stuck in a cyclical pattern. I have daytime appointments available and limited availability for weekends and evenings. I also offer telehealth services.
