Individual Therapy

Support for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Relationship Issues

Feeling Overwhelmed, Stuck, or Disconnected?

Life can feel heavy, directionless, or emotionally distant. If you're experiencing any of the following, you’re not alone.

  • You wake up feeling unmotivated, emotionally numb, or sad and don’t know why

  • You find yourself stuck in your head, constantly worrying or replaying regrets

  • It’s difficult to express emotions or even understand what you're feeling

  • You carry guilt or shame for not having it all figured out

Many men, especially men of color, were never taught how to make sense of these experiences.

But that can change. Therapy gives you the space to understand yourself and move forward.

How Therapy Can Help

Working together, we can help you:

  • Reconnect with your values and sense of purpose

  • Build confidence in your decisions and identity

  • Heal from past wounds and create a more meaningful present

My Approach

I bring a grounded, culturally aware, and compassionate perspective to therapy. I use evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you respond differently to painful thoughts and emotions while building the life you want. Individual therapy helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less stress and more calm.

What to Expect

Individual sessions consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will ask questions and share thoughts when it's helpful, I play an active role. Here’s how it will work step-by-step:

1. First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.
2. Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.
3. We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations
4. We will also work to discover what your goals are in therapy and in life.
5. Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them
6. Over the course of our sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.

Research shows that psychotherapy can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.
