Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to children, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions using a strengths-based and CBT approach. As a gay man of color, I offer a culturally responsive and affirming space where clients can feel seen, supported, and empowered.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I focus on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping skills. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive space where clients can explore, heal, and grow.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we begin getting to know each other. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any relevant background to better understand your needs. I will also answer any questions you may have and collaborate with you on next steps moving forward.
