I work with adults of all ages, especially Black and brown men, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and college students. As a personal witness to the lack of competent mental health care, especially for queer Black men, I work towards closing that gap. My work with clients encompasses career transitions, relocation, relationship issues, life transitions, living with physical disabilities, suicidal ideations, and depression.
I firmly believe that you're the expert of your own life and place a high value on creating a therapeutic relationship that helps you achieve your goals. I also understand the critical role of cultural centeredness. Creating a unique experience, I employ a mix of approaches designed to assist you in reclaiming and owning your power.
