As a Black, queer woman, I bring an intersectional perspective to therapy, honoring how identity, culture, and life experiences shape connection and helping clients navigate challenges with understanding and care.

My goal as a therapist is to help men feel more seen, understood, and more connected to community. Together we will work on challenging how we view our role as men and how this view has affected our overall well-being. I want to explore with you, how you process the daily challenges of being a husband, a father, son or just a man. I know it's not easy, but you always make it work no matter how difficult. I aim to give you a space where you can discuss these challenges without feeling as if your complaining or being a burden.

Many of my clients are high-functioning adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in trauma patterns despite “doing everything right.” They may struggle with PTSD, chronic stress, depression, identity shifts, or burnout. They want more than coping—they want to understand the root of their experiences, feel safer in their bodies, rebuild self-trust, and experience lasting change rather than temporary relief.

The hard part is over. You have decided to get help. The decision is usually the hardest part of moving away from the pain. I know that over time, the pain we feel becomes like a dull ache, always there, but somehow it has become bearable. Until one day, you will have had enough. This is your day! I realize that it is cliche to say that this is the first day of the rest of your life, but it is! The difference is that you have decided to do this day differently.
