Do you find it hard to talk about your feelings? Do you struggle making strong connections or being vulnerable with others? Lately, have you found yourself worrying about life events and struggling to create balance? If so, feel free to reach out. We can work together to create new goals and craft a new narrative rooted in your version of success. If you are ready to reclaim your narrative, reclaim your voice, and build stronger connections with yourself and others, reach out so we can schedule a quick call to add you to my calendar. I will do my best to make time for you and your needs.
In our work together, we’ll separate you from the problem. We'll talk about the shame, the trauma, and the struggles you have faced in life. We'll find alternative threads in your story and build a new sense of strength and resilience. My goal with all clients is to craft a space where you feel safe to express yourself and feel seen.
I specialize in working with the following populations: Black men who want to heal and grow; survivors of sexual violence or childhood sexual trauma; queer people; and couples seeking deeper intimacy. I am kink affirming and have experience with ENM/poly dynamics. If you are not within any of these groups, feel free to reach out as well.

I take on a person-centered approach to therapy. I primarily utilize Narrative Therapy during my sessions with individuals and couples. For couples who tend to have high conflict, I prefer to utilize Collaborative Couples Therapy to assist them in improving their communication with each other, while also working through their conflicts.
