I have found that exploring the theory of attachment with some of my clients can help us understand the relational dynamics in our ongoing relationships, such as family, life-long friends, and romantic relationships, among others. Attachment theory can be very insightful as it helps us see how we relate to the world and how we perceive other people in our lives.

Relational therapy offers valuable support for individuals navigating challenges in their intimate, professional, family, and social relationships. I work well with clients regarding diverse relationship issues. Common themes in relational therapy include addressing social factors such as culture, race, class, heteronormativity, and intersectionality.

As a Black gay male therapist, I feel I understand people's needs who come from diverse cultural backgrounds. As a person who endeavors to be culturally humble, I encourage exploration in the areas of Age, Developmental disabilities, Indigenous heritage, National origin, Racial identity, Ethnic identity, Gender, Socioeconomic Status, and sexual orientation.

Anxiety is more prevalent than many people realize and can stem from work stress, family or relationship difficulties, significant life changes, or past traumas. About 1/3 of the US population will experience anxiety at some point in their lives. Symptoms can include tightness in the chest, heart palpitations, and difficulty sleeping. My approach involves building trust in the therapeutic relationship and providing strategies for managing anxiety.

Attachment-based psychotherapy is an approach that emphasizes the importance of understanding and healing the bonds between a primary caregiver and a child. The primary goal of this therapy is to address mood and anxiety issues, childhood trauma, and relationship problems by enhancing an individual's ability to form secure and healthy connections with others and effectively manage their emotions.

Relationship issues can arise in all relationships, not just romantic ones. All relationships require effort. At times, we may find ourselves stuck in negative patterns in our relationships with family members, siblings, coworkers, friends, and romantic partners. By better understanding unhealthy relational patterns from the past and present, it becomes possible to set healthy boundaries, improve communication, and strengthen connections with oneself and others.
