About My Clients
As a Black man, I understand the specific pressures we carry, the ones that we handle alone and don't always show. As a therapist, I help Black men work through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and the expectation to act like everything is fine when it isn't. Black men are not a monolith, and my work reflects that. I've worked with active duty military, veterans, clergy and people of faith, college students, the LGBTQIA+ community, and men living with HIV/AIDS.
My Background and Approach
I believe that therapy is the process of unlearning, not fixing, because you were never broken. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy to help you unlearn the beliefs and ways of thinking that limit you from creating the life you want for yourself. My approach is also strengths-based: we build on what's already working in your life instead of focusing solely on what is not going well. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of experience, and a graduate of Morehouse College (BA) and UCLA (PhD, Clinical Psychology).
My Values as a Therapist
My values as a therapist start with authenticity: no performing, no code-switching, just honest care, brother to brother. I believe in affirming, strengths-based work that builds on what's already working in your life rather than only focusing on what isn't. As Black men, we share a common experience and what it means to be a Black man can also look different from one of us to the next. Too many spaces built for Black men quietly draw lines around which Black men really count. This is not one of them. I hold space for the full range of who you are. Whatever your journey to manhood as a Black man has looked like, every part of you is welcomed here.
