Message to clients

I think it’s important to know who your therapist is as a person before you decide to work with them. I believe therapy works best when you feel your therapist is a person you can trust and believe they’re in your corner. I am a cisgender, able-bodied, heterosexual, progressive Black American male from Pittsburgh, PA. I come from a family of largely Southern US background with a mixed socio-economic background. Throughout my training, my racial and gender identities have been incredibly important to how I present myself and engage with my therapeutic work. People are complex and engage with their identities in a myriad of ways, so I strive to be sensitive and empathetic to how clients express themselves, however that may be.

I am a therapist with a multicultural, relational, and social justice focus. I attend to your story while being mindful of the ways that culture can shape your understanding of yourself and your world. Our work can focus on these insights to improve your resiliency in the present.

The therapeutic relationship is a new and intimate one and I tend to it with values of curiosity, humility, and collaboration. As we define your healing process together, it takes a form unique to your needs. Healing may be task-oriented, quiet, reflective, challenging, or empowering. All in all, I wish to help you strengthen your sense of self.
