Black and African American Therapists in Tennessee
I believe a counselor’s role isn’t to tell you how to live your life, but to assist you with determining what you want your life to be and the steps to achieving that life and your goals. Therapy is a collaborative process and I want to be your partner on your journey.

Life is a journey that often consists of this constant and intricate dance between our desire to be at peace with who we are now, while becoming our ideal selves. Productivity culture can often contribute to our living in an internally anxious space that leads to a poor sense of self and creates urgency around evolving and growing. Not only can this dissonance make it difficult to enjoy the ride, but it can also negatively influence our relationships with others as we struggle to navigate the nuances of this journey. How can these desires live harmoniously? How do we find peace within ourselves and in our relationships with others?

I use elements of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Behavior Modification to address the needs of my clients. My goal is to assist my clients in their healing process and alleviate stressors in their life that are causing them issues.

I collaborate with adult men who are looking to gain control over their life and get back in the driver seat. I typically work with but not limited to athletes, healthcare providers, first responders, business owners and leaders. Some of the concerns I often see include career, family, personal identity, communication, or relationship concerns. These issues often show up as depression, poor performance in bed, or difficulty managing healthy relationships, stress, addiction, and cheating- lack of control and emotional intelligence. Invest in your needs to interrupt generational patterns.

I'm passionate about empowering my clients to heal what's holding them back and step into the fullest expression of themselves. Whatever the internal or external challenge is that's getting in your way— I believe you have the power to change your future and your whole family tree by putting an end to intergenerational pain and destructive patterns. The process of personal growth (especially with support) can actually rewire your brain to shift more quickly from automatic negative thoughts to a mindset that’s more supportive of your wellbeing in every way— mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
