Waitlist for new clients
I specialize in individual therapy and have worked with diverse groups including active duty military, veterans, individuals battling addiction, clergy/faith communities, college students, the LGBTQIA+ community, senior adults, and people living with HIV/AIDS.
As a therapist, I seek to provide the sort of mental health services that I would want available to my father, my brother, and even myself. As a Black man, I understand the unique experiences of Black men in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress. I also recognize that Black men are diverse and are not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black men deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black men’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of the mental health needs of Black men.

My ideal client has co-occurring issues. I have treated individuals with both mental health issues, trauma and addictions. One can't get well if both issues aren't addressed as both are primary. I find that this approach is successful in healing the mind and body.

Having served in the military for 16 years, I am passionate about my work with veterans and law enforcement and I am best known for my "no BS" approach to therapy.
If you're searching to know your authentic self, explore the full picture, and gain insight from an objective perspective, consider working with me as I believe that true change occurs when a person leans into the uncomfortable, and challenges their blind spots with honesty, personal reflection, and acceptance.

My upbringing within the military community also affords me the opportunity to work with dependents of those who are deployed.
Therapy is a judgement free zone where you can be free to express and explore yourself. Knowledge allows us to grow from within. You are the expert of YOU! I want to help you feel more content with who you are and be prepared to tackle all of the obstacles life has in store for you. I believe in the power of listening and understanding things from different points of view. I also believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is vital to the success of healing and the overall treatment plan. I believe in open and continuous communication. I am a cheerleader, a mentor, a coach and an educator.

As a Combat Veteran, I understand the complexities of military trauma and reintegration and transitioning into family/civilian settings.
The decision to engage in therapy can be life changing. It can also be scary and challenging as we are giving up the most vulnerable details of our lives in hopes of living a better one. That decision to engage is one of the most powerful aspects of therapy and a responsibility that I hold in the highest regard.

Sometimes we seem to have it all together on the outside but are suffering on the inside. Many of my clients are dealing with general "life management problems”, while others are dealing with depression, anxiety, or something you can't quite name. Combat veterans with mental health issues can be very hidden. Often, their spouses and partners are suffering as well. I work with the loved ones of combat veterans.

I've worked with veterans, those struggling with addiction, victims of domestic violence, trauma survivors, as well as those struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm.
I love working in the field of mental health! It's extremely rewarding to see someone transition from a place of hopelessness to a place of empowerment and confidence. I believe that we all have the potential to live a full life, but we don't always have the tools to help us access that kind of life. My goal is to help others determine the type of life they want, recognize the obstacles getting in the way, and work with them to navigate through those obstacles.

Veterans Therapists
Why is mental health important for veterans and the military?
Veterans are more likely to face mental health challenges than the general public, and such mental health challenges can make it difficult for them to navigate day-to-day life. Improved mental health can result in better interpersonal relationships, lower levels of stress, and decreased dependence on substances, such as drugs or alcohol, for many veterans. Addressing common mental health conditions can also help facilitate recovery from physical health challenges that are faced by many veterans, such as chronic pain, physical injury, or poor sleeping patterns. Therapists trained in working with veterans can help address these concerns and help improve veteran mental health.
How can veterans get access to mental health support?
There are many resources for veterans to get mental health support, including through the VA or through their primary care doctor. Many service personnel are eligible for free or reduced-cost mental health counseling through the VA, depending on their service history and current income. Veterans can also utilize online directories, such as Psychology Today, or nonprofit organization resources like the Wounded Warrior Project, to find a therapist or other healthcare professional that specializes in their specific mental health needs. Veterans may also benefit from community-based groups that facilitate social connection and/or address specific concerns, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
What type of therapy is best for veterans?
Veterans may benefit from multiple types of therapy, depending on what mental health challenges they are facing. Veterans seeking therapy for anxiety or depression may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which encourage clients to understand how their thought patterns influence their behavior. Veterans with PTSD may seek other more specialized forms of therapy to treat trauma symptoms, such as EMDR or exposure therapy. Many veterans and military personnel may also benefit from family or couples counseling to address the stress and adjustment challenges that can be associated with military life.
Can therapy for veterans help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in helping veterans with trauma and PTSD. Therapists specializing in veteran mental health often have extensive training and experience helping veterans navigate symptoms of trauma and can teach clients coping techniques to handle common symptoms associated with trauma and PTSD. Some therapists may use talk therapy as their primary approach, while others utilize more structured therapy modalities in sessions, such as EMDR. Veterans can try multiple therapy modalities to find the best fit for them. Therapists can also help make referrals or connect clients with available resources, such as VA benefits, to help address other life concerns.
