Real Change Starts With you.
Transformational therapy for men in North Carolina
I get it. I’ve been where you are—caught between who you are and who everyone tells you to be.
I’ve seen too many men of color struggle with feeling invisible in a space dominated by others. But you don’t have to face this alone. You deserve someone who sees you, understands you, and will have the tough conversations that lead to growth.
This isn’t therapy where we just talk in circles.
Navigating identity, culture, and societal expectations can be exhausting. I bring a practical, real-world approach to therapy. We’ll look at what’s really going on, and then we’ll do something about it. I’m not giving you lectures or handing you cliches. I’m here to help you see what’s been running the show behind the scenes—and give you tools to change it.
I Work With Men Around Things Like...
Feeling lost or like you have to live up to others' expectations
Depression, anxiety, or general lack of motivation
Relationships that feel confusing or stuck
Childhood or family stuff that still lingers
What You Can Expect
Clear goals and structure
Someone who truly hears you—and gets it
Insights that lead to action, not just awareness
A touch of humor to keep things real

Hi, I'm Anthony.
For the past 16 years, I’ve been committed to helping men, particularly men of color, navigate life’s toughest challenges. I know what it’s like to feel torn between who you are and who the world tells you to be. That struggle—whether it’s with confidence, identity, or finding your place—can feel isolating, but I’m here to tell you: You don’t have to walk this path alone.
I specialize in both individual therapy and couples counseling, with a deep focus on creating safe spaces where men can talk openly about their challenges. Whether it’s battling anxiety, tackling relationship issues, or working through complex identity matters, I use evidence-based practices like the Strengthening Families Program to guide you toward clarity, better communication, and lasting change.
I also work with you on the basics — rest, nutrition, and exercise — as a way to build a strong foundation for emotional well-being.
I believe in the power of honest, direct conversations, and I see you. I understand the weight you carry, the frustration of feeling unseen in spaces that don’t reflect your experiences. But you are worthy of more than just surviving — you’re meant to thrive, to be seen, and to live authentically. If you’re ready to make that shift, let’s work together and create a path that’s true to you.
