Serving clients in Hammond, Baton Rouge, Covington, New Orleans, Houston, and Dallas—are you searching for a Black male therapist with the experience and clinical expertise to meet your needs? You’ve found the right place.
I offer secure virtual therapy, giving you access to high-quality, evidence-based care from wherever you are. My practice focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and bipolar disorder, using proven approaches that support meaningful and lasting change.
With over 13 years of professional experience, I bring both clinical knowledge and real-world insight to the work. I’m committed to helping clients move beyond survival mode toward stability, clarity, and growth.

I am an out-of-network provider for some insurance companies. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement for therapy services. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network mental health benefits and deductible details.
Helpful questions to ask your insurance company include:
At the end of each month, you will receive a detailed Insurance Reimbursement Statement that you may submit directly to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.
Therapy is an investment in your overall well-being. Choosing out-of-network care allows us to focus on providing high-quality, individualized treatment without the limitations often placed by insurance companies. This ensures you receive the most effective, personalized care possible.
Many clients are also able to use HSA or FSA (flex spending) accounts to cover session fees.
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.
A 24-hour notice is required for all cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged the full session fee.
If you have any additional questions about rates or insurance, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to working with you.
This is a space to slow down, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels sustainable—not forced.
