If left unchecked, these struggles can breed Depression, Anxiety, Imposter Syndrome, Burnout, physical pain, and more.
Now Accepting Virtual Clients in 41 states! Congratulations, your search landed you on the page of a trauma-informed, compassionate, and affirming psychologist. A proud Morehouse Man, my journey has taught me life can be hard and the road to success can be lonely- especially in settings that lack diversity. This is further complicated when asking for help is not ok, frowned upon, and it’s hard to trust. Hesitation or unwarranted self-appraisal can result when, instead, you should be celebrating your accomplishments, your strength, your undying resiliency!

Using a relational and collaborative approach, I bring experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, co-dependency, relationship issues, and family conflict.
The ups and downs of life can be tough for us all. We strive every day to find a little more light, however, sometimes just as we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, an unexpected new challenge falls in our path. This can feel as if there is no way out. Counseling offers an avenue to work together to brighten this path. The experiences in our past impact the way we live our life today, how we cope with these challenges, and how we see our future. Finding the insight, self-knowledge and inner strength for better coping with our depression, anxiety, or uncertainty is the key to living our most fulfilling lives.

Life can be difficult at times with so many life transitions and still having to complete everyday tasks without support and encouragement. You are not alone in feeling the weight of trying to carry it all while experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Most importantly losing who you are deep down. Therapy can serve as a safe space to begin exploring who you are and what your needs are through creative expressions such as art or music and utilizing evidence-based interventions to help relieve the weight of those everyday stressors.

Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression and trauma exposure.
I believe that when a patient comes to see a therapist, they often ask these questions. "Will I feel safe, will I be heard without judgment and can this unknown person be trusted?" The therapeutic relationship is the most profound, protected, and valuable asset created between the psychologist and the patient. I am in awe of my patients courage and their ability to trust, so that the issues grappled with can be explored and understood, and that ultimately they can begin to heal and grow in ways that are both needed and desired.

Maybe you're sick and tired of being depressed or anxious all the time. Maybe your relationships are in trouble and you need help fixing them. Maybe your teenager is in trouble and they need someone to talk to because you've run out of answers.
