Providing mental health services to children, adolescents and adults; specializing in offering services to underserved populations specifically members of black and brown communities.
Saving the world and helping people is what I’ve wanted to do since I was 13yrs old; and the first step was serving in the Navy. If you’re in search of a safe, therapeutic environment to discuss your thoughts, feelings and experiences I’d love to help you process and gain the tools needed to manage your mental health. My therapeutic style involves a collaborative approach that includes empathy, transparency, non-judgement and validation. I believe that each individual patient is an expert when it comes to themselves, and I work collaboratively with the patient adding my clinical knowledge.

As the parent of a struggling child or adolescent, you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. I believe it is important to understand “What is happening to me” versus “What is wrong with me.” I have had the pleasure of working with clients ages 3 to 55 years old and their families. I am familiar with Court-ordered clients, children in the foster care system, victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, as well as active duty service members, veterans, and their families.

We may be unhappy in our lives today because we have wounds from the past that have been left unhealed. These wounds generate from our basic needs not being met in childhood, abuse, loss of any kind (death of a loved one/friend, job, house, security, relationship, etc.), an unexpected accident, or any other traumas life may throw at you. These unhealed wounds are “jabbing” at you today through maladaptive and numbing behaviors, physical reactions, and emotional reactions.

Therapy is one's personal identified journey of trials, tribulations, highs-and-lows, and uncertainty. Clients who gravitate towards me are those who prefer transparency, engagement, no judgement, and genuine validation and assistance on their road to "who they themselves identify they want to be". Clients who work with me realize that days are difficult, as is change; however, they do not mind the reminders and encouraging sessions that enhance and challenge accountability and resiliency.
