Great to meet you!

I pride myself on meeting my client where they are emotionally. My down-to-earth conversation style applies to all walks of life. I believe therapy can be a conversation between friends with affirmation when needed, a direct discussion, or simply a light sense of humor. Life is full of moments. I am here to help the leap from this moment to the next

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a conversational approach where you could see us being friends if it weren't for the current situation. Regardless of the academic background, I know what it is like just coping with life.

What you can expect from our first session

Working with me, a client can expect push back to some of their notions that may be creating problems for them. They can also expect direct steps to rebuild from their paradigm shift.

Rashad's style is

Direct
Empowering
Humorous
