About me
I am a native of Atlanta. I graduated from Morehouse College with my bachelor's degree, and from Clark Atlanta University and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville with my master's degree and doctorate, respectively. I grew up in inner-city Atlanta and chose to go into the field of mental health after seeing a lack of providers that I felt identified with my community. In addition to the lack of providers, I also became aware of the stigma surrounding mental health and chose to become a clinician to dispel these myths and address gaps in service related to diversity.
About my practice
I am a clinician in the Kaiser Permanente Behavioral Health Department. I service adults, mainly struggling with the areas of stress, depression, and anxiety. My approach in providing clinical care to my patients is client-centered, which emphasizes the experience of the client by utilizing concepts such as positive regard. My professional memberships include the National Association of Social Workers and Counseling Brothers of Atlanta, an organization and directory of black male social workers in the Atlanta area.
How I thrive
I thrive by staying active and connected. I enjoy hiking, swimming, and working out at home. I begin my mornings with fifteen minutes of stretching and wrap up my evenings with a similar routine. I enjoy watching movies, writing, and reading. I also enjoy spending time family and friends, whether that entails vacationing or gathering at someone's home to eat good food and play trivia games.
