Family therapy and counseling in Lancaster, PA

I have been working in the field of counseling since 2007. Specialties include: Teenagers and young adults with anxiety, depression, borderline personalities, and LGBTQ+. I enjoy the teenager population because they are the most overlooked. I received my LPC license in 2020 after working in the field for 13 years. On my down time I enjoy coaching soccer and reffing along with many other sports with my many kids.

My approach is to be present with you during these times, offering a thoughtful and supportive environment as we examine your unique circumstances together.

Counseling with a sense of humor! Licensed therapist since 2007.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a background in infant and early childhood mental health, early relational health, mental health consultation, and psychotherapy.

My work has included supporting children, parents, caregivers, families, and professionals navigating relationships, development, and emotional well-being.

Currently, I provide telehealth therapy for adolescents and adults, including parents who want a supportive space to explore the experiences, relationships, and patterns that influence how they understand themselves and navigate parenting.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity and current understanding of how the brain and body respond to stress, relationships, and life experiences. I translate this science into practical, understandable ways of making sense of emotions, patterns, and behavior.

I support clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, parenting, emotional well-being, and the ways past experiences can shape present-day life.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.

I’m a therapist who keeps it real. Life gets overwhelming, and you don’t have to pretend with me. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, substance use, relationship stress, or court‐related challenges, I’m here to help you sort through the chaos and find your footing again. I’m supportive, honest, and easy to talk to — and I’ll walk with you as you learn new skills, break old patterns, and build a life that feels more stable and aligned with who you want to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I received my Masters of Social Services from The Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College (2019). I received my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Binghamton University, SUNY (2012). I am trained and have been certified as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (2021). I am certified in Yoga RYT-200(2014), and in Reiki 1 and 2 (2012).
