My specialties include ADHD, Anxiety, Grief, Anger and Addiction with a special focus on supporting men (Ages 15 and up) as they navigate school, relationships, work/career and overall life change.
Wow! There are a LOT of therapists, right? Unless the criteria were super narrow, this list is likely a little overwhelming—a lot of acronyms, a lot of jargon and friendly smiles; maybe fewer cardigans than expected. It’s a lot to consider. For many of us, scrolling through lists like this can feel like running in quicksand. And if you tend to be hard on yourself, it's all the more difficult. Whether you're navigating major life shifts, struggling but still trying to pin down why, or just at a loss and unsure of where/how to start, stick with it. It's OK to take your time. There are lots of people on here who can help.

My areas of skill and experience include helping couples restore love and connection in their relationship and coaching men who are seeking to establish more meaningful personal and professional relationships.
My work as a therapist is based on a conviction that our choices and relationship patterns are fueled by our need to experience wholeness and heal the brokenness of our past. This concept lies at the core of attachment theory and is a powerful tool for helping us understand why we struggle with others and with our own internal critic. In my therapeutic work, I leverage aspects of Imago, Solution-focused, and Internal Family theories to help clients progress towards deeper and more meaningful connections with themselves and others.

My personal and professional journey has led me to focus on understanding the impact of negative social influences on the lives of African American boys and men .
Sometimes asking for help can be a difficult task. Whether it's for yourself, your child, or another significant person in your life, we all should be able to ask for help without fear of judgment or stigma. My practice specializes in helping teens and adults process life's difficulties and identify sources of strength to overcome them. All the while taking into account the web of social and cultural barriers to becoming healthy.

I work with high performing men struggling with relational/intimacy issues, workaholism, "busyaholism," burnout, shame and a loud inner critic, and self-destructive behaviors.
You are stressed and burnt out by your daily demands. You are tired of trying to do the right thing in your relationships but feeling like you constantly fall short. I help high achieving men manage stress, reduce burnout, and improve their relationships. The reason you haven’t gotten what you want out of life yet is most likely because no one ever gave you the tools that you need. No more hustling to prove your worth only to feel like you continue to disappoint yourself and others. By using my 4 step process to becoming a more evolved man , you can finally get what you want out of your work, life, love, sex and relationships!

In therapy, my goal is to help clients acquire the resources, skills, and insights to address what holds them back, and in doing so, prepare them for what is ahead. I've provided therapy in settings such as a large university and teaching hospital, a community mental health clinic, a rural high school, a county jail, and now at a private practice in Nashville. In addition to being a therapist, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses about family dynamics, intimate relationships, and human sexuality, and provide clinical supervision to graduate couple and family therapy students as well as pre-licensed clinicians.

I've had many positive experiences working with clients who may previously have thought they would "never enter therapy" (especially men ), or who have had a poor therapy experience at one time or another.
A lot of people think about entering therapy, but beginning the search can be nerve-wracking if you are unfamiliar with the process (and unfamiliar with the therapist!). Too, TV or movies may make therapists seem flaky, weird, or "out of the norm." I approach clients with a friendly practicality and understanding, using metaphor to help illustrate concepts and balancing humor when appropriate. I want you to benefit from counseling, and that begins the moment we first make contact.

Growing up, I was told that the psychology/counseling field was not for African American men , due to the lack of African American men that apply for positions in such fields.
I work with clients demonstrating a range of mental health concerns, including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, mood and personality disorders, life transitions and stress. My preference of clients is not limited to their race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation, but their devotion to their own mental well being.

It may be that your anxiety and depression is in control of your life and making it difficult to complete simple tasks during the day. Your relationships don’t seem to work out. Your anger has a mind of its own and drives everyone away. Or you have unwanted emotions and/or behaviors that are running your life. I work exclusively with men to help them address the issues unique to them in order to achieve emotional maturity and lead full lives. I am also passionate about fly fishing, woodworking, and spending time with family and friends.

I enjoy working with clients seeking to grow emotionally, spiritually and relationally.

I believe that we have been broken in relationships and that we are therefore healed in the context of relationships. I have had many clients who have had success and experienced transformation throughout the counseling process. Evening and weekend appointments available. Contact me via phone, email, or text.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
