About My Clients
Has your life seemed unmanageable or without direction no matter what you do to succeed? Do you find yourself dealing with anxiety or depression but nothing seems to keep it at bay for long? Do you look at others and wonder how can they be so successful but no you? Trauma is likely the source of your pain and suffering. I will assess if this is true about you and tailor sessions that will heal these parts of you and teach you skills to manage your distress better.
My Background and Approach
My experience working with teens and adults in pychiatric hospitals and community settings has prepared me to work with mild to severe disorders such as BiPolar Disorder, Borderline, Schizophrenia, Depression, and PTSD. I primarily use CBT and DBT to challenge your thinking and teach you new skills to replace behaviors that no longer serve you. I use Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems to help you heal from mistreatment from your past. Be prepared to be pushed into areas you may normally avoid or have your beliefs examined to determine if they serve you currently.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a Black man who is also queer, I have had to learn these same techniques that I will be teaching you as you take your power back and set clear boundaries to prevent others from hurting or mistreating you. I am a deeply spiritual person which keeps me grounded and reminds me that I am better when I work within a community. I believe every person is worthy and seek to see the strengths as well as the weakness of my clients. I will honor your religious practices and beliefs (or lack of) while challenging if they are really yours or adopted from others.
