After years of working with individuals from all walks of life, my goal with each of my clients is to assist them in fostering their own sense of self. Often, we already know the solutions to the problems we face, but the stress of life can make identifying them a challenge. By using a mindfulness centered approach my hope is to walk with my clients in their journeys towards those answers. The tools I use in my practice are CBT, IFS, EMDR, and mindfulness modalities; along with a healthy dose of psycho-education.

My ideal client is a man who feels stuck, emotionally disconnected, or burdened by unresolved trauma. He may be a husband, father, or leader silently struggling to understand his thoughts and emotions. He needs clarity, direction, and tools to grow—mentally, emotionally, and relationally. His goal is to break generational cycles, build stronger relationships, and lead with confidence. He wants freedom and fulfillment because he knows he was made for more—and he’s finally ready to rise into the man he was created to be.

Figuring out life's direction isn't easy, especially if your school years got turned upside down by the pandemic. You missed out on hangouts, extra-curriculars, even just the comfort of hiding behind a mask instead of being seen. Those are everyday moments most people take for granted, but they just weren't there for you. I work with young adults who are navigating that gap. Together we focus on building the confidence and social know-how you didn't really get the chance to develop. That way you can move into adulthood, relationships, and your career with more clarity, without feeling the pressure to already have it all figured out.

“I thought I would be married by now.” “Why do I keep picking the same kind of partner?” “It’s like my parents don’t respect me as an adult!” “No one respects my ‘no’.” “I feel like I’m drowning.” “Maybe I should get another degree.” “Why does it seem like everyone around me is a narcissist?” "I don't know if I'm making the right decision." "I feel stuck." “I can’t trust anyone. People always disappoint me.” “I don’t want to burden anyone else with my stuff, they have their own problems.” “I’m there for everyone else but no one is there for me.”

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.
