Working With Black Men
Therapy for Black men who are tired of carrying everything alone.
This May Fit If You’re Navigating
My Approach
Warm, direct, and trauma-informed. Black affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming. Grounded in real life, not just theory. Culturally responsive care that takes systemic stress and mistrust of treatment seriously.
Draws on CBT, psychodynamic work, and practical problem-solving — with the understanding that your context matters as much as your symptoms.
What We Focus On
Name what’s happening before it turns into shutdown, anger, avoidance, or over-functioning
How stress, silence, and old survival patterns show up in your connections
Who you are beyond productivity, survival, expectations, or being the “strong one”
You can be strong and still need support.
You can be accountable without being punished.
You can change without abandoning yourself.
No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just genuine support.
