My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and supportive. I prioritize active listening and provide honest, compassionate feedback while creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves and confident taking steps toward clarity and change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to the field after witnessing how unresolved trauma and emotional stress can shape people’s lives. This work allows me to support clients in understanding their experiences, healing at their own pace, and creating meaningful, lasting change through trauma-informed care.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative and flexible approach to goal setting. Together, we identify what matters most to you and break goals into realistic, manageable steps. Goals are revisited and adjusted as therapy progresses to ensure they remain aligned with your needs and values.

Our first session

The first session focuses on building rapport and helping you feel comfortable. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals, while reviewing what to expect moving forward. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

I identify as...

• Male
• Black or African American
• Christian
