I utilize a person-centered strengths-based approach that incorporates evidence-based practices and mind- body connection approach focusing on life transitions, self-esteem, mood disorders, trauma, day to day stressors, boundaries, body image, and more.
I believe that it is important to vent to a “professionally trained friend” outside of your normal circle to receive the proper intervention and assistance you need in order to progress & flourish. I view therapy as a ball of yarn being untangled where the yarn signifies your thoughts. Are you a mom, currently pregnant, or just recently given birth? You may have feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, depressed mood, and need whole health management. Are you a teen/young adult, or adult that needs to work through stress and anxiety, trauma, healthy relationships, set boundaries, or work on self-esteem? I am here to help you untangle.

I am a Black, male therapist originally from Columbus, OH. and now living in Raleigh, NC. I find it a great honor counseling with clients who are just dealing with life's many transitions to doing therapy with those clients that are facing challenging diagnosable mental health issues. I mainly utilize therapeutic techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (e.g. Ellis’s ABC model, thought journaling, cognitive restructuring, etc.) but I also use techniques from Solution Focused Therapy, EFT, DBT and Multisystemic Therapy. I have found that I prefer a person-centered approach, though I will still use goals, contracts and homework.

Like most therapists, I utilize a wide variety of clinical modalities (CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, logotherapy, person-centered therapy).
Therapy is for everyone. Life is beautiful, but it can also be brutal. We all go through times in our lives where talking it out with a friend or meditating just doesn't cut it. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just feeling stuck in life, I'm here for you. I'll walk alongside you on this journey to help you identify your strengths and coping strategies to help you move forward. We'll also detangle the threads of your past and help you make sense of the story of your life. We'll talk about your childhood trauma as well as what's going on in the present - and how these things interact.
