About Me

I am a Black queer man, a US Army veteran, artist, and a New York State licensed clinical social worker (license #087926-1). The guiding principles of my work are abolitionist, sex-positive, client-centered, collaborative, dynamic, integrative, and holistic. I use tools specific to the needs of each unique individual. My practice centers people of color and members of the LGBTQ community.

Psychotherapy to me is most effective when built on an attuned, warm connection. From there, we can work together to treat and transform trauma and emotional pain—often the by-product of oppression, neglect, relationship ruptures, abuse, and rejection. My passion is to support people in learning that they are indeed enough, and a gift to the world.

I have an eclectic educational and professional background including 15 years in the arts (dance), a graduate degree in clinical social work, and post-graduate training in Gestalt psychotherapy and Attachment-Focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am also a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist (RSMT), certified Yoga Dance teacher, and trained in expressive arts therapies. These practices allow me to bring movement, creativity, and the wisdom of the body into therapy, offering clients the opportunity to heal not only through words but through embodied experience.

I hold the clients I work with in the highest esteem as powerful and complete beings with unique minds, bodies, and spirits. My work is infused with mindfulness, embodiment, and spirituality. It is truly an honor and privilege to do this work.

I look forward to working with you.
