About My Clients
I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, and identity challenges. As an African American, gay therapist with lived experience, I create a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and those facing cultural identity struggles. My ideal client is ready to explore their healing journey, seeking compassionate, nonjudgmental support to reclaim their voice and self-worth. Let’s work together toward growth, resilience, and empowerment.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed therapist with years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. As an African American, gay clinician, I understand the importance of culturally competent, affirming care. My approach is client-centered, blending evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care with deep empathy and real-world understanding. I believe healing happens in a space where you feel seen, heard, and validated. My lived experience with substance use recovery and personal growth allows me to connect authentically with clients, offering guidance that is both professional and deeply compassionate. Whether you're struggling with past wounds, self-doubt, or life transitions, I’ll help you navigate these challenges with warmth, respect, and practical tools for lasting change. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your narrative and build a life aligned with your true self.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the power of healing, self-discovery, and resilience. As an active member of the LGBTQIA+ community and a person in long-term recovery, I understand that no single path to healing works for everyone. While I am part of the 12-step community, I honor and respect the many spiritual and personal journeys that lead to growth. I believe in creating a therapeutic space that is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and affirming of all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Advocacy and social justice are deeply important to me—I support mental health awareness, racial equity, and LGBTQIA+ rights. I am committed to empowering individuals who feel unheard, unseen, or marginalized, helping them reclaim their worth and identity. My practice is built on the values of compassion, authenticity, and cultural humility. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to walk alongside you, offering support, validation, and guidance toward the life you deserve
