Throughout my journey to become a therapist, I would often be asked the same question: What made me want to become a therapist? The more I learned about myself and who I wanted to become, the clearer the answer became. As a therapist, my goal is to always help my clients leave my sessions inspired to become the best versions of themselves. Imagine life as a race, and the finish line represents everything you want to achieve. On this journey, you’ll face numerous obstacles that might seem insurmountable. I want all my clients to conquer these challenges and reach the goals they aspire to achieve. I have experience working in various settings, including home-based, in jails, residential facilities, schools, and in foster care settings. I am a diligent and motivated therapist dedicated to assisting my clients in achieving success and becoming the best versions of themselves. I utilize a variety of therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, strength-based approaches, and person-centered therapy. My passion lies in helping preteens, teenagers, and adults who struggle with various issues, such as relationship difficulties, anxiety, men’s issues, school-related challenges, self-esteem, peer relationships, and daily stressors. As an African American male, I firmly believe that an effective therapist should commit to continuous learning and development. My master’s degree in social work equips me with the knowledge and competence needed to guide clients through difficult situations and choices. Although the path to these goals may have its challenges, I possess the empathy, active listening skills, clinical tools, and adaptability necessary to keep you motivated to achieve your goals.
