About My Clients
Sometimes we get to places in life where we get stuck. Maybe it’s an issue at the job or at home. Perhaps you’ve been dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety, or overwhelming anger. It is my goal to help you sort out how to deal with your challenges and support you develop into a better you. I also know that I am an African American cisgender male, and I want to use my presence in the therapy field to help increase the comfort level for males and minorities to receive clinical services.
My Background and Approach
I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at University of California, Berkeley. After many years of clinical case management, I attained a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. I continued to do community case management and individual therapy. I have over 10 years of experience in doing clinical work. My style is to use a client-centered approach and maintain cultural humility in my engagement. I have a warm and personable approach and, I have been trained in various styles of therapy. I tend to do well in building rapport so that we can work towards addressing the areas in your life that you would like to see change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that it sometimes takes two people to fully process a thought. Many of the underlying feelings and thoughts that motivate behaviors can be discovered by talking through it. This it becomes important to think about what we think about. Therapeutic discussion can be had when there is both unconditional positive regard and respect for the other person’s journey. It’s my desire to build a safe space for people and to form healthy relationships with honesty and trust.
