I help adults who look like they’re holding it together on the outside, but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same relationship patterns on the inside. We’ll work on stress management, emotional regulation, communication, and the deeper “why” behind your reactions—so you feel more grounded, confident, and consistent in daily life. My style is warm, structured, and down-to-earth. You don’t need perfect words—just a willingness to show up. I use CBT/DBT/ACT tools for practical change, and I can integrate deeper work (Brainspotting/IFS) when it’s a good fit. I also create a dedicated space for men—especially men of color—who want to explore masculinity, culture, identity, and relationships without judgment.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We’ll slow things down and create space to breathe. You don’t need perfect words—just come as you are. Together we’ll identify what feels most important right now and build a simple, practical roadmap so you leave with direction and a couple tools to start using immediately.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients tell me they feel comfortable and at ease with me. I bring calm structure, clear next steps, and evidence-based skills you can use between sessions so change doesn’t just stay in the room, it shows up in your daily life. I don't believe healing happens solely through strategies or checklists. I believe it happens through connection. I value the therapeutic relationship as a space where you can be fully seen, and we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface at a pace that feels safe and empowering. I bring patience, curiosity, and deep respect for each person’s process. My role is to help you make sense of your experience, reconnect with your inner strengths, and move toward the kind of life that feels more aligned and manageable—one step at a time.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or constant overthinking and who want practical tools they can actually use in real life. A lot of the people I work with are navigating life transitions, burnout, confidence and self esteem concerns, or relationship tension and communication breakdowns. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a willingness to show up consistently and practice new skills between sessions. I’m best positioned to support clients who want structured, grounded therapy focused on emotional regulation, healthier routines, and stronger relationships.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I regularly incorporate it's principles into my work to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that empowers clients to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT skills help with emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and communication—especially when you feel reactive, overwhelmed, or stuck in conflict patterns.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps us understand the different “parts” of you—like the anxious part, the perfectionist, or the protector—so you can respond with more clarity and self-compassion instead of self-criticism. Great for people who feel torn internally or stuck in the same patterns.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT helps you get unstuck from overthinking and avoidance by building psychological flexibility—so you can manage anxiety while taking action toward the life and relationships you want.

Jovan was amazing. I have never been excited about therapy and he has changed my whole perspective. He made me feel like I was in fact going to be okay and already gave me some tools to implement into my daily life that will help me navigate better.
