I am a male, BiPOC clinician and I work with adults and young adults both clinically and within the community, specifically with my Peer Recovery Specialist work over the last five years. I have experience in facilitating clinical services in both community services/nonprofit settings as well as private practice, as well as working with families of incarcerated individuals & those reentering the community after incarceration. Many of my clients experience issues with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, work-related stress, grief & loss, along with various other diagnoses.
In addition to my clinical background, I also identify as a mental health peer, along with a MABPCB Registered Peer Supervisor (RPS) & Peer Recovery Specialist (PRS). I serve on the Harford County Mental Health & Addictions Advisory Council, and am also an Adjunct Professor at Towson University in the Psychology Department, teaching Abnormal Psychology, Human Development, Cross-Cultural Psychology, and Industrial & Organizational Psychology.
With regards to education and clinical training, I am a graduate of Northwestern University, with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am working as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) (# LC13729 in MD) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) here in Maryland. I am also an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP).
I speak from personal experience when I say, I know what you're going through and how isolating it can feel. Please remember, you are not alone, you have self-worth and people who care about you & want to see you happy in life. I am a peer, a parent, and someone who lives with depression, anxiety, and ADHD every day, and would love to help you find balance.
With mental health advocacy being a cause that is near to my heart and as a former professional photographer for over a decade and podcast host, I founded Creatives Aga;nst Depression—an initiative created to start a larger conversation about mental health awareness in the US to help erase the stigma behind depression, anxiety, & suicide, especially in the arts community.
