About me

Most days I spent my time working with my clients in therapy, helping them connect to themselves, practice self-care, and heal. When I’m not working, I’m writing to help provide insight and support on mental health and healing or otherwise enjoying reading, movies and TV, and enjoying New York City.

 
“Self-care is actually about offering yourself the care that you need. Sometimes that doesn't always feel good. Sometimes it's hard and not shiny or pretty.”— Jor-El Caraballo

Meditations for Black Men

For Black men, self-care too often feels like a luxury. But being in touch with your emotions, deepening sensory awareness, and taking time to quiet the busy mind are essential tools for a healthy lifestyle. Mindfulness can be a pathway to emotional and psychological freedom.

Over the course of ten guided meditations, this audio program covers topics such as redefining Black masculinity, connecting with your ancestors, and creating sacred space, as well as physical practices such as breath work and a walking meditation. The program closes with affirmations: short, positive messages to further instill self-confidence and emotional well-being.


 
Self-Care for Black Men

Self-Care for Black Men contains self-care strategies that address some of the most common issues Black men face, such as dealing with racism, navigating prejudice in the workplace, managing romantic relationships, and working through intergenerational trauma.

This is your guide to wellness and self-discovery written specifically for Black men. There will opportunities to learn new skills to manage your mental health, as well as do more deep reflection on your own terms. It’s time to take your health firmly within your own hands and Self-Care for Black Men will help you do that.
