Are you sick of being hurt, sick of mediocrity, or sick of being stuck in life? Are you curious as to how to grow from being a victim to becoming a victor? Do you wonder how you can rise from an ordinary life to an extraordinary and divinely empowered life? Do you want to heal from past pain?

I am an African-American Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and the Author of The Power of A Thousand Heroes (The PATH)TM. We can work together to empower you.

A successful therapeutic relationship will be supportive, empowering, positive, but also difficult, at times uncomfortable, and often challenging. We rarely find ourselves seeking therapy when everything is comfortable and going well; instead, we are feeling helpless, unlovable, angry, isolated, and stuck in situations without solutions. Things that once made sense no longer do, we are confused, fearful, and just want to feel better. Imagine not feeling so afraid, understanding how/where your thoughts come from, or just simply being able to be happy; these are the expectations of our work together.

I understand the struggles we all face. In my experience of over 30 years working in the mental health and human service fields with children, adults, couples, families and groups, I’ve developed great insight and understanding into what helps us heal.

Most of us, grew up with unmet needs as children and/or have experienced loss and trauma and now struggle with expressing our emotions, trusting others, lack of confidence or motivation, poor self-esteem, relationship difficulty, issues w/ anger, self-doubt, poor decision making, saddness and worry.

I applaud you for your courage in exploring therapy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, addiction, recovery, grief, loss, career counseling, LGBTQ+ issues, stress, relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. I employ a Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral approach, emphasizing the reality that what we tell ourselves affects both how we feel and our actions. I also integrate the Psychodynamic perspective, exploring how our early experiences affect the now, and a Solution-Focused modality to help clients problem solve. I sprinkle in Narrative, REBT, & DBT strategies as well, creating a safe, non-judgmental & trusting environment.
