About me
I'm a Caribbean American therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's complexities with compassion and authenticity. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and family conflicts, while also helping people build self-esteem and adapt to life transitions.
My approach centers on creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore challenges like social anxiety, isolation, guilt, shame, and body image concerns. I'm particularly passionate about supporting women and young adults as they work toward self-love, improved communication, and deeper connections with themselves and others. I also specialize in helping clients address attachment issues, abandonment fears, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness.
I bring a multicultural lens to my work, honoring the unique identities and experiences my clients bring to therapy. I'm committed to meeting you where you are with genuine care, respect, and a collaborative approach to healing. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.
