Together, we will develop a plan that feels realistic for your life and reflects your concerns, priorities, and goals - not simply your diagnosis.
I became a therapist because I wanted to show up for people in the moments that matter most. My background spans emergency services, crisis intervention, inpatient psychiatry, residential programs, and outpatient care — experience that shaped a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to every session.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, panic attacks, anger management, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also offer couples counseling through a Solution-Focused approach. As a Black male therapist in Central Massachusetts, I'm especially attuned to the needs of men's mental health — an area that is underserved and where I bring both lived experience and clinical depth.
I'm an LICSW — Massachusetts' highest independent social work license — trained at Salem State University and offering evidence-based, online therapy across the state.
I offer an environment of ease and attentive listening as a place to begin. Our work together will help you feel more grounded and less overwhelmed, so painful emotions can be met with understanding and long held patterns considered from new perspectives. Over time, you can expect to move through life with more self compassion and steadiness.
With more than 15 years of experience in office, hospital and hospice settings as a hospice chaplain, I have helped adults navigate grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and crises of purpose and meaning.
I graduated from Smith College School of Social Work in Northampton, MA, in 2002 and have been helping people with various mental health issues since that time. I have been trained in psychodynamic therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing, among other modalities.
I am a licensed mental health counselor and dance movement therapist. I am passionate about mental health, healing, and helping folks help themselves. I approach my work with a trauma informed lens, and with a deep respect for meeting people where they are at. Focus mainly on identity, anxiety, depression and trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Framingham
Searching for therapists in Framingham starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Framingham therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style match your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you want from sessions.
In a smaller city like Framingham, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can expand your choices across Massachusetts. You may prefer an office near Framingham, Natick, Ashland, or Wayland, or you may want the flexibility of video sessions from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, scheduling fit, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Framingham can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
