My mission is to reduce human suffering and promote calm, unravel residual trauma-based anxiety and feelings of depression that have interfered with your everyday living and connection to loved ones, family, and community.

Finding an African American male therapist in LA who has openings is like finding a unicorn. No one else could help me with what I'm going through. Sometimes he shares aspects of his story to assure me that he understands. I don't mind therapists of other ethnicities helping me with general issues, but when it comes to specific challenges unique to Black American males in the USA, therapists from other ethnic backgrounds may not always comprehend the context deeply. This can lead to spending the session explaining my perspective, which can be counterproductive.
