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.
Thank you so much for reaching out and considering me to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you do more than just get through the day—I want to help you truly thrive. As a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Pennsylvania, I specialize in solution-oriented care designed to help you navigate things like anxiety, depression, and work stress with a renewed sense of self-acceptance.
I am open to new ideas and problem solving, through listening and exploring options. I welcome in depth conversations and always learn from my clients. Creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect is a primary goal. Setting attainable realistic goals for life. I have experience in business, schools (k-12 and higher education) and the Family Court System
My experiences include extensive training for diverse populations: Community Oriented Police, School Police officers, First Responders and Hospital security.
I have also taught coparenting classes and work with hundreds of couples in creating and implementing parenting plans. I have instructed and supervised counselors in training at both the University level and have been a hands on field instructor.
In the area of leadership, I have been president of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association, president od the board of both Circle Group Homes and the William Gladden Foundation. I have served on many community boards and current chair the scholarship committee for The Greater Allegheny Education Foundation.
In therapy, it's important for you to know that I'm here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—I’ll work with you to understand your experiences and help you move toward meaningful change. I value honesty, curiosity, and respect, and I’ll always meet you where you are emotionally and mentally. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin; we’ll navigate this process together at your pace.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding couples therapists in Philadelphia starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A strong profile should make it clear how the therapist works with both partners and what kinds of relationship concerns they support.
In a large city like Philly, the number of options can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you want in-person sessions near Center City, South Philly, University City, or another neighborhood that works for both schedules. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a time that fits two calendars. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples. Reading bios closely can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, approach, and experience with relationship counseling in Philadelphia.
Couples therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for couples therapists in Philadelphia who are accepting new patients, offer virtual or in-person care, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can review therapist profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
