Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
My goal is to assist my clients in crafting a new narrative for themselves and improve their connection with themselves and others. I enjoy helping clients with understanding their sexual expression, learning more about consent and setting boundaries, and improving intimacy within their relationships.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I am passionate about working with Black men; however, I also have a strong passion for working with survivors of sexual violence, adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and kink-friendly couples. I represent multiple identities that fuel the passion that moves me to be the best therapist for my clients. I have been the young Black queer male trying to work through his history of abuse but afraid to talk about it. I now want to be the safe space for those who are and once were in my position.
