My philosophy centers on creating a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space where you can explore your experiences and uncover your inner strengths. I believe that the therapeutic journey is not one you have to walk alone; together, we can work through past pains, navigate present challenges, and develop the tools needed to thrive in the future.

Whether you’re seeking to break free from patterns that no longer serve you, gain deeper self-awareness, or find relief from overwhelming stress, my goal is to empower you every step of the way. I offer flexible scheduling, both in-person and virtual sessions, to make care accessible and responsive to your needs.

Thank you for taking this courageous step toward healing and growth. I am here to support, guide, and walk alongside you on this transformative journey.

I'm not your typical therapist. As an African American male who grew up in South Central Los Angeles, I bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic process. In the mental health field, Black male therapists are often referred to as "unicorns" due to their rarity. According to the American Psychological Association, only about 4% of psychologists in the United States are Black, and given that the broader community of therapists is 71% female, the percentage of Black male therapists is likely closer to one in 100. (Hechinger Report, American Psychological Association, 2022). 

My life experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of the challenges faced by individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression, utilizing evidence-based practices like EMDR to facilitate healing and growth. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, aiming to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Outside of therapy, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development to provide the most effective and compassionate care. If you're ready to take the next step, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
