Right now many of us are struggling with life challenges that create stress and anxieties in several aspects of our lives. It is my goal to assist in alleviating those challenges though identified approaches to meet your needs. Most recently, I became Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity certified and decided to continue building my knowledge and awareness on how to assist clients on this amazing journey of self-discovery and acceptance. It is my goal to support ALL clients in the navigation through barriers and challenges that may interfere with happiness and self-love.

I enjoy working with clients of all walks of life. Clients present with a variety of different issues, but all humans want to live full and happy lives, with dignity, respect, and on their terms. Helping clients develop greater insight about themselves and the world in which they live is central to their overall well-being and success. Empowering individuals to recognize and live up to their full potential is incredibly fulfilling and inspiring. Assisting people in their pursuit to heal and thrive has been my greatest privilege.

Believing that you can overcome whatever you have faced, will face, and are now facing through the power of the skills you have learned, is what I believe you gain through the power of therapy. Therapy helps you realize that hope is right around the corner. I use a very diverse approach in my practice, strengthened by my diverse background. I understand and know that therapy can initially be intimidating. We want to bury deep and hide when we experience and do not understand unknown and overwhelming feelings. It is okay to feel uncomfortable about the unknown. Let’s try to unravel those feelings, together!

Mental health is a topic I hold near and dear to my heart. Therapy is one of the best ways for an individual to address issues they may be dealing with in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

My goal is to help clients identify and reach the goals that are most important to them. To do this I offer a safe place to express oneself without fear.

Whether it is behavioral, emotional, a major change in life, something that you cannot quite put your finger on, or all of the above, that has you looking at this page, congratulations for being brave.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a variety of work experiences and many skillsets. Most of my work experience has been working with mental health, substance abuse, and/or co-occurring populations both with adolescent and adults. I have years of experience working on inpatient psychiatric units and 2 + years of experience working as an outpatient therapist. As a younger minority male clinician, I tend to use my presence to influence and/or motivate males to seek or receive services being that mental health and substance abuse services are highly stigmatized.

As a compassionate clinical therapist, my goal is to help you make the positive changes you want in your life in a safe and comfortable environment. Many of us carry the world on our shoulders. Just remember your mental health comes first. It is difficult to build enough trust to express your personal thoughts and feelings with someone, but it is even more difficult to find the right therapist to talk to.

My career has included working with individuals of all different ages and mental health disorders. I have had the opportunity to be trained in several different therapy modalities. I have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). All these trainings have allowed me to develop a large therapeutic toolbox in which I can draw many resources and therapeutic tools from.

I see a primary goal of psychotherapy as providing the individual with a sense of empowerment: the belief that you are able to control your own thoughts and actions and through that interact more effectively in social, personal, and occupational arenas. Therapy begins with establing a supportive therapeutic relationship, in which one feels accepted and validated. The specific methods I use vary depending on the nature of the problem and the needs of the client.
