My ideal client is a child, teen, or young adult who is feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck. They may be struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, life transitions, or the impact of past trauma. Deep down, they want to feel safe, seen, and empowered—but they may not know how to express that yet. They want someone who listens without judgment, helps them make sense of their emotions, and walks alongside them as they work toward healing and growth.

When living during this phase called "Life" we go through many challenges, changes, and life adjustments that we do not expect to experience. We undergo unexpected life experiences that can determine and shape different methods in navigating the world in which we live. The multitude of complex challenges can mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually disrupt our daily lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor- Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas. I specialize in diversity care, helping anyone who feels lost, broken, emotionally overwhelmed, or not good enough. If you are suffering from relationship trauma, divorce, or painful relationships where it seems like different people, but the same problem with each person, I can offer both a spiritual and psychological approach if desired. While I teach coping skills for the symptoms, my goal is to help you identify and process the trauma that has you in the cycle of pain, which will ultimately relieve many of the symptoms if you commit to the process.

Are you having trouble regulating your emotions, unable to set your own or respect other people’s boundaries? Do you find yourself often saying yes when really, you want to say no? Do you expect things to go your way, and fall apart when it doesn’t? Do you find yourself in relationships with the same person but with a different name? It’s a pattern. Your childhood may be the cause of today’s behavior patterns and contribute to emotional dysregulation which could include feeling helpless, frustrated, and trapped.

You’re the one everyone counts on; driven, independent, and always moving. Slowing down feels uncomfortable. Emotions feel messy. You pride yourself on keeping it together, figuring things out on your own, and thinking your way through problems rather than feeling them. But if you are honest, there’s a part of you that’s tired of playing that role. A part that wonders why connection feels so hard, why vulnerability feels unsafe, and why, no matter how much you achieve, it never really feels like enough.

You’re self-aware, thoughtful, and capable, but something isn’t working. You may feel stuck in recurring relationship patterns, overthink decisions, or carry emotional pressure that won’t resolve. You’ve likely tried to figure things out on your own, but the same issues persist. You’re not looking for surface-level conversation; you want clarity, direction, and meaningful progress. If you’re ready to be honest, challenged, and guided through real change, you’re in the right place.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
