I am a Black, male therapist originally from Columbus, OH. and now living in Raleigh, NC. I find it a great honor counseling with clients who are just dealing with life's many transitions to doing therapy with those clients that are facing challenging diagnosable mental health issues. I mainly utilize therapeutic techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (e.g. Ellis’s ABC model, thought journaling, cognitive restructuring, etc.) but I also use techniques from Solution Focused Therapy, EFT, DBT and Multisystemic Therapy. I have found that I prefer a person-centered approach, though I will still use goals, contracts and homework.

Are the experiences earlier in your life (childhood and/or early adulthood) impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve your daily decision-making.

As individuals with lives in constant flux, it can seem strange and feel scary to ask for assistance from other. Despite that fear, when we take that step and seek assistance in life, we open ourselves to wonderful possibilities and opportunities for growth and change. As a Counselor, I find personal growth can flow both ways during therapy. learn more about others and our respective worlds that empowers us to push past barriers that we thought were impossible to breach. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I find great joy in working towards change and growth for not only members of the community but our allies as well.

My practice is informed by a few basic beliefs: I believe that people are doing the best that they can with the resources they have available to them; I believe with adequate support and guidance, we all have the ability to develop new skills and reach our potential; and I believe that therapy is grounded in a trusting relationship, which is enhanced by my clinical knowledge. My approach combines multiple modalities to tailor treatment to your individual needs and is rooted in the understanding that my ability to adapt is key to you achieving success. I enjoy working with individuals and families, as well as adolescents and parents.

You are not alone. 1 in 10 men will experience anxiety or depression but less than half will seek treatment. Life can be a hell of a thing but as men the expectation is to just deal with it. Maybe you are just entering into the adult world and realize you will be making decisions that will forever alter the course of your life and want a no pressure place to talk about it.
