“The focus of my work is with families. I also specialize in the treatment of emotional disorders of teens. With the use of the Family Systems approach or Cognitive Therapy, I provide treatment for my clients in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I believe that all people have the power and ability to surmount the seemingly insurmountable and the power to overcome tremendous odds. With support and hard work, people can tackle their challenges and achieve personal growth and wellness.

My focus is with families, couples, individuals beginning at 13 years of age and older. Clients come to me when they feel overwhelmed by the complexity of their lives and emotional barriers have stunted their emotional growth. I provide the therapeutic skills,support, and insight to help solve their problems.

As one of the few African American males practicing in this area, I have expertise in treating issues and problems particular to African-Americans. However, as a seasoned professional, I am also able to meet the needs of all clients, regardless of background.”

Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult
