I am the kind of therapist who happens to be unusual; because I am very tall; male; and also African American. I know a little bit about a lot of topics and I have wanted to be a therapist since I was 15 years old. I was made to see a therapist as a 12 year old boy and I was able to also meet a African American male therapist. I learned the value of mental health counseling in that period of my life. I wanted to provide a similar kind of change on people. Listen to what they want to say and help them figure out what and most importantly how they would like to change.
