My communication style

Sometimes we'll get into it, I'll be pointing at some of the deep and vulnerable parts to promote change - and sometimes we'll redirect to more macro challenges. I am honest, and I will never judge you for using the skills you learned to survive for as long as you did. Let's work on some new skills and approaches together. I'm so glad you got here.

My journey to mental healthcare

I transitioned into therapy after a career in education, corporate, and nonprofit sectors, where I witnessed the impact of trauma on individuals from all walks of life. I sought to understand how we can reconnect with our bodies to heal and recover from survival. How do we move toward life beyond hardship?

My goals for you

I am a collaborative therapist. I believe in co-creating goals that are measurable, accessible, and flexible. Goals are often created from a black and white place, which can promote feelings of failure or "not enough". I support clients in reframing their goals from a place of increased insight and review goals throughout treatment so we're aligned

Our first session

In my first session, I review your mental health journey, your relationships with friends and family, and your overall sense of self, community, and life trajectory. My first session allows clients the opportunity to also ask me questions about my experience, our process together, and gain a sense of who I am as a collaborator in their care.

I identify as...

• Male
• Black or African American
