Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep desire to be a source of stability and support for others — especially those who often feel overlooked or unheard. Growing up in a community where mental health wasn’t always openly discussed, I saw firsthand how stress, trauma, and systemic barriers could weigh heavily on individuals and families.
This inspired me to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice, where I gained insight into how social systems affect behavior and well-being. But it was during this time that I realized my true calling wasn’t in enforcement or policy — it was in helping people heal, grow, and take back control of their stories.
That realization led me to earn my Master of Social Work and specialize in clinical therapy. Today, I feel honored to walk alongside clients — especially Black men, young adults, and professionals — as they navigate challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with their purpose. Being a therapist is more than a profession for me — it’s a mission rooted in empathy, justice, and hope.

Education
Master of Social Work in Social Work, Master of Social Work, Social Work, 2020 — I earned my Master of Social Work with a clinical concentration, where I received advanced training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). My graduate studies emphasized mental health assessment, trauma-informed care, cultural competence, and social justice in practice.
While pursuing my MSW, I completed clinical internships focused on community mental health and addiction recovery, which helped shape my strength-based, culturally affirming approach to therapy. I also engaged in research and group facilitation, deepening my ability to support individuals experiencing anxiety, life transitions, identity challenges, and emotional distress.
This graduate training forms the foundation of my work today — creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
Western Michigan University - Detroit, MI, Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, Criminologist, . Criminal Law, Criminal Justice, 2016 — I hold a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, where I focused on understanding the intersection of law, human behavior, and social systems. My studies included coursework in criminology, ethics, law enforcement, and the justice system — all of which continue to inform my clinical work with individuals navigating anxiety, addiction, and systemic challenges.
During my undergraduate years, I participated in community outreach and justice reform initiatives, which deepened my commitment to equity and access in mental health care. I also conducted research on the role of trauma in criminal behavior, laying the foundation for my current trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapeutic approach.
This background allows me to bring a unique lens to therapy — one that combines behavioral insight with systemic awareness and empathy, especially when working with Black men, young adults, and professionals navigating stress, identity, and societal pressures.
