My ideal clients are couples, men of all ages, teens, and young adults. My clients want to gain better self-understanding, feel "stuck” in their current life situations, are experiencing significant life transitions, suffer from anxiety or depression, believe that life should be better than it is right now, or desire to break generational chains and confront identity-based traumas. As one of few Black male therapists, my lived experiences help me walk with anyone who's experienced marginalization by providing a space to process the pain and the tools to reclaim their dignity. All I need is your commitment to the journey.

To start, I am an Internal Family Systems Therapist and most clients I see are looking for IFS therapy. Now, Are you at a place in your life where you just want more?
