Welcome

Counseling works best when you feel safe, understood, and able to trust the process. As someone who once doubted therapy myself, growing up in a community that rarely talked about anxiety or depression, I know how important it is to find the right fit.

My goal is to create a space where you can be heard, challenged, and supported without judgment. I encourage you to explore, ask questions, and meet with as many therapists as you need until you feel that genuine connection.

Words from My Clients

Working with Jamal has given me healthy coping tools, clarity in identifying problems and solutions, and a safe space to share my thoughts. My anxiety has lessened, my goals are clearer, and I feel equipped to succeed and grow.
— Someone Who’s Been There
Jamal listens without judgment and truly understands what I’m going through. Every session feels supportive, focused, and full of practical tools I can use right away. I leave feeling lighter, more confident, and ready to take the next step forward.
— Someone Who’s Been There
Jamal goes above and beyond and has been incredibly supportive for my mental health. I wouldn’t change a thing about my counseling experience.
