As a Jamaican American therapist, I support individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or strained in their relationships and are looking for therapy that feels supportive, grounding, and collaborative. I provide culturally responsive, holistic care that honors your lived experience, values, and identity.

Through my clinical training and experience, I have worked with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide thoughtful, compassionate care while helping clients develop insight and practical coping strategies.

I am committed to ongoing growth and professional development as I continue to deepen my clinical skills and provide empathetic, client-centered care. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

Who I Support

I support:

Individuals navigating anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
Individuals processing trauma and difficult life experiences
Couples experiencing relationship challenges and communication concerns
Individuals exploring self-esteem, identity, and personal growth
Clients from diverse and multicultural backgrounds seeking affirming care

My Approach

My approach is warm, empathetic, holistic, and client-centered, with an emphasis on whole-person care. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment while developing insight and practical tools for everyday life.

I draw from evidence-based and holistic practices, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns
Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe personal stories and support empowerment
Mindfulness-based strategies to build emotional awareness, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional regulation

My approach is culturally responsive and client-centered, honoring each person's unique experiences, values, and identity. My focus is helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and sustainable change.

Education & Professional Status

I practice under clinical supervision in accordance with New York State regulations. Ongoing supervision supports ethical, high-quality care and helps ensure you receive thoughtful, client-centered treatment while your privacy remains protected.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I enjoy cooking and watching a good movie. I value having time to unwind and believe that everyday moments like these can support emotional balance and overall well-being.
