I’m honored to be recognized as a BPM Honors honoree alongside Black professionals whose leadership, achievements, and influence are making a meaningful impact.

As the founder and CEO of Bridging the Gap Therapy Services, my work is rooted in helping people heal, supporting the growth of future clinicians, and strengthening our community through mental health care. This recognition holds special meaning because it celebrates a mission that is deeply personal to me.

I’m grateful for the team, clients, mentors, and community who continue to be part of this journey. Recognition is meaningful, and so are the relationships, inspiration, and opportunities we create when we come together.

Join us to celebrate, connect, and champion Black professional excellence!

Still reflecting on this special moment. 💚

On May 6, 2026, I had the honor of accepting the Community Champion for Mental Health Award from NAMI Broward County NAMI Broward County on behalf of Bridging the Gap Therapy Services Bridging The Gap Therapy Serv

This recognition means so much because it reflects the heart behind the work we do every day, advancing hope, health, and healing within our community through leadership, generosity, and service.

What began as a vision to create a space where people could feel supported, understood, and empowered has grown into something far greater than I could accomplish alone. I’m incredibly grateful for the clinicians, students, administrative team, community partners, clients, families, and supporters who continue to believe in the mission of Bridging the Gap Therapy Services.

Receiving this award was a beautiful reminder that the work we do extends beyond the therapy room. Every conversation, every client supported, every student mentored, every community partnership, and every effort to make mental health care more accessible contributes to something bigger.

Thank you, NAMI Broward County, for this meaningful recognition and for the work you continue to do for mental health in our community.

A little look back before we walk forward.
 
Last year’s NAMIWalks Broward was filled with connection, community, advocacy, and so many meaningful moments. We were proud to show up as a team for a cause that is at the heart of the work we do every day, supporting mental health, breaking stigma, and reminding people that no one has to navigate their journey alone.

Now, we’re getting ready to do it all again!
On October 10th, the Bridging the Gap Therapy Services team will be back at NAMIWalks Broward 2026, and we’re looking forward to another incredible day alongside our community.

This year’s theme says it perfectly:

💚 Our Community. Our Cause. Our Commitment. 💚
Here are a few of our favorite moments from last year as we count down to this year’s walk. We can’t wait to make even more memories together!

Not every battle leaves a scar you can see.

For many men, the toughest battles are the ones fought behind closed doors, hidden behind smiles, strength, responsibility, and the expectation to hold it all together.

This Men's Mental Health Month, we encourage honest conversations, checking in on one another, and creating space for men to speak without judgment. Strength isn't suffering in silence. Strength is reaching out, asking for help, and knowing you don't have to carry everything alone.

If you're struggling, know that your story matters, your feelings are valid, and you are not alone.

Start the conversation.
