Invest In Yourself.

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. You may worry about being misunderstood or judged.

My goal is that our sessions will provide you with clarity, skills, and a sense of empowerment to live your best life.

You deserve to feel relief — let’s have a conversation to get you there.

What’s It Like to Work With Me?

Life can feel heavy when you’re carrying anxiety, navigating major life changes, or dealing with pressures that few people truly understand. You don’t have to carry it alone.

As a Black therapist serving diverse communities for more than 25 years, I specialize in helping BIPOC adults work through their anxiety, past trauma, racial issues, life transitions such as divorce, and the unique challenges many men face. My approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in creating a safe, judgment-free space where real healing can happen.

Originally from Chicago and now proudly calling Texas home, I bring both professional expertise and real-life experience into the therapy room. I am a Christian, a retired military combat veteran, a member of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., a Prince Hall Mason, and a Noble Shrine. My military experience deepened my understanding of resilience, identity, and the strength people discover during life’s most difficult moments.

In our sessions, you can expect authenticity, insight, and even humor along the way. I believe healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Sometimes laughter, honesty, and connection are powerful parts of the process. Together, we’ll work to uncover the root causes of your challenge, strengthen your coping skills, and help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace.

I’m passionate about serving BIPOC communities because I understand the cultural pressures, expectations, and lived experiences that can impact our mental health in ways others may overlook. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply trying to find your footing again, therapy can help you move forward with purpose-filled clarity.

If you’re ready for meaningful conversations, practical support, and a therapist who will meet you where you are with understanding and accountability, let’s connect. You deserve healing, balance, and the opportunity to once again, be the best version of yourself.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
— Maya Angelou
