Get to know me

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

I pride myself on meeting my client where they are emotionally. My down-to-earth conversation style applies to all walks of life. I believe therapy can be a conversation between friends with affirmation when needed, a direct discussion, or simply a light sense of humor. Life is full of moments and leaps of faith. I am here to help the leap from this moment to the next.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am known for providing mental health services, including therapy and counseling. I have a strong focus on helping individuals navigate a range of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who values a genuine, emotionally connected therapeutic relationship built on trust and open communication. They are likely navigating a significant life transition, experiencing relationship challenges, or struggling with mild to moderate anxiety and seek practical coping mechanisms alongside emotional support. This client appreciates a therapist who is approachable and relatable, offering a conversational style and a willingness to adapt their approach to individual needs. They may also benefit from my humor as a way to ease tension and value honest feedback as part of their growth process.

Rashad was willing to listen to my story and understanding of my issues. He asked thought provoking follow–ups, pushing me to challenge my preexisting worldview to better myself. He did not put me down, but instead motivated me to discover long–term solutions to my issues through relatable anecdotes, videos, and his own personal experience. Also, great book recommendations!
