I specialize in African American psychology, Skills , CBT  (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) Psychodynamic, Existential , Gestalt and Trauma Informed Care Treatment Modalities 

 

I also am knowledgeable of how the residual effects of slavery, and religious trauma hinders African American families, and relationship building, and I utilize this to help communities and people of color heal.
