A trusting and confidential relationship is the foundation for therapy, reducing emotional pain, increasing motivation for change and developing strengths. Through talk therapy we identify values, become aligned with those values as a guide towards health and move from isolation to connection. My style of counseling is centered in being, becoming, belonging and creating a safe space to discover using evidence-based practices. Our mission is wellbeing with a particular emphasis on the unique experience of Black American Men and becoming better for ourselves and our families. The core of my practice centers on self-awareness, discovery and growth. Through experiencing and talk, we develop strategies, bring to light meaning and find direction.. This is facilitated through reflective thought of personal experiences, relationships, community and systems. My approach is as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Mental health counseling is a great first step to untangle difficult thoughts and experiences. It is also a wonderful next step to becoming better than our current circumstances that can be difficult or good. The goal is awareness, connection and moving with purpose on life's journey with better ways of handling the vicissitudes of living.
