You crush it at work. But you feel like a total failure in your relationships. Exhaustion and hopelessness color your existence like a dark fog. Caffeine and self-propulsion are your two best friends. Relationships should be fulfilling, right? Then why do you feel so numb, disengaged, and often embarrassed by your emotional reactions? Sure, you hit your numbers at work. But your reward is dragging yourself home to a lonely, sexless marriage. Another conflict ensues. Great. Your partner's judgmental stare leaves you feeling ashamed and like you’re 5 years old again. Let’s face it – you haven’t felt loved in years.

Are you successful on paper, but still struggle to find fulfillment in life, or feel like you are “never enough”?

I help women build resilience to weather the storms of life with grace and strength. I know the importance of being able to bounce back from loss, disappointment, or crisis. As a therapist who works with women stung and damaged by all sorts of life events, I believe that resilience is one of the single most important qualities that enables us to bounce back from the edge. Resilience allows us to find our strength in adverse circumstances. It requires a willingness to fall apart for a time and get in touch with our pain. There is much healing that can be accomplished by getting to know yourself at your rawest and darkest times.

As an African American male therapist, I offer a culturally sensitive and inclusive space rooted in emotional intelligence and empathy.
