About:

I am deeply committed to normalizing therapy and increasing access to culturally responsive mental health services within the Black community—particularly for Black men who may be seeking a therapist who understands their lived experiences, cultural context, and unique stressors. My approach to therapy is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based practice.

I currently provide online therapy to individuals ages 16 and older residing in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Vermont, and Washington State, allowing clients to receive high-quality mental health care from the privacy and convenience of their own space. If you are a Black man seeking therapy, or an individual looking for a thoughtful, experienced clinician who values cultural awareness and practical results, I invite you to take the next step.
