Healing is often portrayed as becoming "whole" again, as though difficult experiences have somehow made us less complete. I believe healing does not equal brokenness. Whether you are navigating PTSD & trauma, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, healing is not out of reach; it is already within you. My passion is to help you experience genuine freedom in your healing and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been dimmed along the way.

When anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles start affecting your daily life, it can feel impossible to know where to start. Therapy can help you understand what's driving those patterns and build the skills to move forward.

Is past trauma making it hard to move forward? I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by trauma, chronic stress, or major life transitions. Many of my clients are military service members or veterans, though I also support adults who have experienced trauma from other life experiences. Together, we create a safe and collaborative space where you can process what you’ve been through, strengthen coping skills, and begin moving toward meaningful change.

Striving to be excellent at all the things has become a lot to carry on your own and with all the "great things" going on in your life, it has become really difficult to admit how overwhelming it can be in your head. Work is stressful, your family and friends don't really understand and well, you're having some imposter syndrome and your spouse or lack there of is another conversation. It's so much. Almost too much. You just want to make sense of it and turn down some of the noise in your head. Maybe find a way to not feel so heavy all the time.

In our relationships, we hope to feel connected, cared for, and understood. However, after a conversation with a loved one, you may find yourself feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or exhausted. Conversations can feel like they're going in circles and you may be blowing up or shutting down before reaching a resolution. You may even find yourself communicating in ways that hinder connection and understanding because you aren't sure how else to express how you feel. If this sounds familiar, please understand that you're not alone. Together we can all work to process those responses and have healthier conversations.

At The Weight Room, we provide therapy built for Black and Brown men.
You’ve been carrying a lot—stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, or the weight of expectations. Maybe communication keeps breaking down, trust has been shaken, or you feel stuck with no clear direction. You want change, but figuring it out alone feels overwhelming. Deep down, you want peace, clarity, and confidence in your next steps. Whether it’s rebuilding after infidelity, navigating fatherhood, or breaking cycles of frustration, you’re ready for something different. Therapy shouldn’t feel like another burden—it should be a space where you can lay it down, sort through it, and come back stronger.

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.
