I work with couples, Black men and boys, first responders, and veterans who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My ideal clients want to heal, improve communication, and rebuild trust—whether in relationships or within themselves. They’re seeking a space that’s honest, culturally aware, and emotionally safe. They come to therapy ready to grow, not just cope—but to truly heal and thrive.
I support couples with communication, trust, and premarital counseling. I specialize in therapy for Black boys and men, creating space for healing and identity. As a former firefighter, military chaplain, and pastor, I bring trauma-informed, faith-aware care. My graduate research focuses on Black youth suicide, trauma, and the role of faith in mental health.
Your search for support already shows courage. Whether you’re navigating relationship tension, parenting a struggling son, or carrying silent stress from work or life—I’m here to help. Therapy with me feels honest, supportive, and real. I don’t accept insurance and offer weekday, daytime sessions only.
