Depression and Anxiety:
Struggling with depression or anxiety can feel overwhelming. It’s not unusual to feel like you’ve done something wrong for having these emotions or to be blamed by others for feeling this way. You might hear things like, “If you would just try harder,” “Just relax,” or “Other people have it worse, so what’s your problem?” But in reality, these feelings often stem from prolonged stress, unresolved trauma, or imbalances in the brain. Life’s challenges, such as relationship issues, career pressures, or past events beyond your control, can weigh heavily and lead to these emotions.
My clinical skills can help you break free from this cycle. Using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness, I have helped people reconnect with life, manage worry, and rediscover a sense of purpose. I can help you move beyond being defined by these feelings. There is a way to feel better and regain control.
Trauma Therapy:
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by past trauma, know that the distressing symptoms you’re experiencing—such as flashbacks, sleep disturbances, nightmares, emotional volatility, or numbness—are treatable. With the right therapeutic approach, it’s possible to reduce or even eliminate many of these experiences. Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that can feel impossible to heal on your own. It’s like an electrical short in your brain, leaving you stuck in the feeling that the trauma is happening over and over.
I understand how overwhelming this can be, and my trauma-focused approach is designed to help you gradually reduce these painful symptoms. With empathetic and structured guidance, you can regain a sense of safety and control in your life. You don’t have to keep living in the shadow of your past. Healing is possible.
Cultural and Racial Identity:
For those navigating identity or racial challenges, it’s common to feel isolated, lonely, or rejected. Social judgment or pressure from your own community can lead to disconnection from friends, family, and colleagues. This can bring on confusion, sadness, and anger, as issues of race and identity create deep emotional strain. These feelings are a natural response to such challenges.
As a Black male provisional psychologist, I understand firsthand how difficult this can be. I provide culturally responsive care to help you overcome these emotions and replace them with hope, connection, and a sense of worthiness. Together, we’ll work to help you rediscover your strong sense of self.
