Starting therapy can feel like a huge step. You deserve a confidential space where you feel truly seen and understood. My personal journey to mental wellness taught me how vital it is to work with a therapist who is safe, relatable, and authentic. I bring that commitment—and a focus on what makes you uniquely you—to every session. 

I’m Derek. I’m a queer, Black, cisgender man. I can help you to process past experiences, navigate the complexities of your relationships, and manage the stresses of daily life. 

My practice is grounded in Person-Centered and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). This means we will actively collaborate to define your personal goals, and will work together to help you develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and to establish more meaningful and authentic connections with others.
