Traumatic situations can vary from unresolved grief/loss, witnessing/experiencing a violent incident or accident, physical and sexual abuse, to betrayal in relationships. These experiences leave "imprints" on the mind and body which can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, “numb,” avoiding situations/places, unwanted memories, nightmares and guilt.

Ever wondered if there's a different way to approach therapy? If you're curious about integrating your faith into the counseling process, you're in the right place. As a Black and Hispanic man, I understand the importance of finding culturally sensitive and empathetic support. With a background rooted in Christian faith, I offer a unique approach to therapy that combines traditional techniques with faith-based counseling. Prioritizing the integration of mind, body, and spirit helps you become the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that behaviors are a function of our relations with others. Thus, a person's environment and history influences one's sense of self and the way we express ourselves as part of a group and as individuals. I try to learn from my client's experiences to develop a better understanding of who they are, how they developed their sense of self, their worldview, and behavior.
