My approach to therapy is from a Cognitive Behavior perspective based on Christian values. My goal in counseling is to provide my clients with alternative ways of thinking about themselves, life, relationships, etc. I have opted for this therapeutic approach because in life, every thought is tied to an emotion. Those thoughts not only affect one mentally, but physically. If an individual can change the way they view life, their current situation, and how they feel, it could ultimately change their behavior.

Life can be wonderful, interesting, challenging but no one ever said it would be easy! Never before have we faced such a difficult onslaught of problems affecting our work, school, social and even medical aspects of our lives. The good news is that counseling has never been easier to access. Our friends tell us what we want to hear, counselors tell us what we need to hear and give us the tools to make changes to help us on our journey. I have been a counselor since 1991 and am just as passionate about my work today as the day I started.

You do not have to keep repeating the same pattern. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I also support individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Together, we explore what’s beneath the surface, build insight, and create lasting, meaningful change.

I truly believe everyone could benefit from having a counselor. We all go through life where situations arise and we need someone to talk and listen to us without any judgment.

Life can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, relationship concerns, and other mental health challenges.

From the outside, life may look fine, yet it feels like something is missing and you're not quite sure why. You may struggle with anxiety, relationship challenges, self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Maybe you understand the patterns and where they come from, but knowing how to create lasting change feels less clear. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware individuals carrying the effects of difficult life experiences, childhood trauma, or emotional neglect who are ready to better understand themselves and move forward.

There is no roadmap to guide us through life. When things happen, there is no set of instructions on how to emotionally navigate various situations. Let’s face it: adulting is not easy, no matter what age you are! Life can get overwhelming sometimes. Having someone to talk to during these difficult times of life’s stressors and transitions means you don’t have to carry the weight alone. Whether you are experiencing stress, emotional pain, relational struggles, or just need support, I am here to help.

Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional connection, and build relationships that feel safer, calmer, and more secure.

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.
