“Dwayne has helped me so much through one of the toughest times. I feel move level-headed and self-aware than I have in a long time. He’s a great listener and I walk away from every session feeling more confident and capable with the tools he’s given me.”

I am a mental health professional with experience working in various settings; to include: residential addiction, correctional, community, and school based agencies. Those experiences have been rewarding in the opportunities they have provided for me to facilitate and witness client growth. My view of the therapeutic relationship is that of a process in which the client and the therapist build a therapeutic alliance to: explore and identify areas for improvement, develop goals, and work together realizing those goals and optimizing quality of life.
You, the client, are a full partner in therapeutic relationship. Your honesty and effort is essential to success. If you have or develop questions, concerns, or suggestions about therapy, I expect you to share these with me so that we can make the necessary adjustments.
I hold additional certification as a Telemental Health Certified Counselor (THCC). Teletherapy is a method of delivering mental health counseling and psychotherapy services using interactive technology-assisted media that enables a licensee and a client(s) separated by distance to interact via synchronous video and audio transmission.

“I've worked with Dwayne for a handful of months now and I'm glad he was the first match with me as my counselor. I wasn't very confident in BetterHelp at the beginning, but after the first session I decided I wanted to continue. Dwayne made it clear from the beginning that he understood cultural differences and I find that very important that he did to help someone like me. I always leave our sessions with more insight, he calls out my contradictions in a very professional manner and I always look forward to working with him,”
