One of my favorite sheroes, bell hooks, wrote, “Critically intervene in a way that challenges and changes.” I first encountered this quote while researching masculinity and misogynoir in the Black community for my dissertation, and it has continued to shape how I think about healing, responsibility, and care. It reflects how I approach therapy: with intention, attentiveness, and a commitment to meaningful change. _ I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Texas, authorized to provide interjurisdictional telepsychology. My clinical work spans a range of settings and levels of care, including residential treatment programs for adults and adolescents, substance use treatment facilities, juvenile correctional settings, and forensic work within the Department of Justice. I have presented at national conferences and published works on mental health within the Black community, culturally competent care, and published on best practices in mental health care for incarcerated LGBTQ youth. I was a Minority Scholar for the American Psychological Association's Division 39 Multicultural Concerns Committee. __ My experiences in various settings inform a grounded, thoughtful approach to therapy - one that attends to development, power, identity, and the broader systems that shape mental health. I work collaboratively and intentionally, offering care that is responsive to both individual history and present-day context. Therapy can feel intimidating. It requires honesty, emotional risk, and a willingness to explore parts of yourself shaped by both early experiences and current realities. In our work together, you can expect to work collaboratively toward your goals in a space that is supportive but that also challenges you in an intentional way to truly foster growth and insight. __ Areas of Focus I primarily work with BIPOC couples and professionals. In addition to therapy, I conduct diagnostic assessments, provide clinical consultation, and attend speaking engagements for organizations, clinicians, and community groups. My approach is holistic and integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused interventions - always tailored to your lived experience and needs. Seeking support is a meaningful step. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions, clarify goals, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
