I am a Graduate of Howard University and UNC Charlotte, I have a BA in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples and families who seek change to become happier, healthier and gain control over obstacles that are weighing them down. I have several years of experience in working with children, adults, and families, on a broad array of issues ranging from depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, schizophrenia, substance abuse and trauma. I provide culturally competent care and use a Strength Based Approach when working with clients. I also specialize in helping African American males deal with oppressive systems and obstacles.
I’m our first session together you can expect a getting to know you session. We will learn about you and what you feel best will assist with achieving growth and success. We will also discuss goals and expectations.
Having worked with a variety of people from all walks of life in various settings for the past seven years , I am great at meeting people where they are to assist them with moving forward in achieving growth.
I love working with young professionals, young adults and families who are striving to find ways to cope with what life has given them.

Micheal was very helpful in this first session. It was a conversation with myself and my ex partner on coparenting. He helped us see deeper resolutions that are needed, and assisted with an action plan going forward.
