It's hard to ask for help, so you have taken a really good first step in finding help and feeling better. A significant piece of meaningful and effective therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. When it's the right fit, therapy can be a wonderful part of your life and can lead to feeling more grounded, confident and empowered. I am grateful to be in this work. It is a privilege to hear the stories of my clients and be a part of their journey.

As a black male therapist, I understand there are not a lot of black male therapists which can be a deterring factor in participating in therapy. “I finally found a black male therapist” is one of the most common things I hear when speaking to parents and black men seeking therapy services. I want to help serve the black community by providing services to the black community. You want a therapist that's relatable and can understand your perspective on life as a man and as a black man in society. I'm glad we found each other. Together, we'll identify and address any barriers interfering with you living a more desirable life.

I approach counseling with the awareness that feeling stuck can be very distressing. Encountering difficulty with one’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and body sensations is both common and hard to process alone. My ideal client is open to the therapeutic journey and working together toward their goals.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” I believe that every individual has within themselves the resources they need to take actions towards creating the changes that will align with their values and purpose. Being a bicultural individual, I am able to see things from two different perspectives, which helps me remain open and adaptable to various personal values and ways of life. I pride myself on my ability to create a space where you would feel comfortable and understood to express your concerns and emotions freely.

Feeling sad, overwhelmed and anxious? Stressed in your relationships? Struggling with children or adolescents, perhaps taking care of elder adults or someone with special needs? Life can be challenging. There may be days when you're able to solve one problem only to have three more appear. Families are constantly shifting with the culture. Although change can be a good thing, it may feel too fast, creating fear and anxiety. When life becomes too difficult to manage and when there are regular and unresolved conflicts among family members it may be time to seek help and gain perspective.

No matter the struggle everyone has the capacity for self-empowerment and to enhance the quality of their lives. People seek therapy for many different reasons: mental health, existential questions, old wounds, and the problems of everyday living. Whatever your reason, I will partner with you to turn toward your distress and cultivate conditions that lead to insight and healing. My approach is client-centered and recognizes the complexity of the human experience. I promote an understanding of your own mind, self-determination, and the development of evidence-based skills that can help you respond more effectively to your challenges.

We use evidence based approaches, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method for couples counseling to name a few. Currently, most of my own work supports individuals who struggle with high levels of self-criticism, shame, and the patterns of avoidance or over-striving that are often associated with anxiety, depression, problem perfectionism, and trauma. We also specialize in couples counseling and working with relational grief, or losses due to life transitions and "post"-COVID living.

Living life fully and successfully is a great challenge, while coping with emotional, behavioral, or cognitive struggles. We are taught to read, write and do math in school, but where do we learn the skills to live effectively and happily? I approach psychotherapy as an educational, supportive process that occurs in a safe environment where individuals can learn the skills to meet life's challenges and gain control of their lives. Our Centers offer not only psychotherapy services, but comprehensive neuropsychological testing and treatment for learning disorders, ADHD, memory problems, concussion, and brain disorders.
