Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience, and I bring all of that, plus my own life, into the room with you. As a Caribbean woman and woman of color, I've seen firsthand how therapy can feel out of reach for people who look like us. That's part of why I do this work. I serve a wide range of clients: adults, teens, kids as young as five, couples, veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, women of color, and families navigating immigration, school systems, and everything in between. Whoever you are, you belong here.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that the relationship between us is the foundation of everything. I draw on CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. Not as scripts, but as tools I shape around you. That might look like building coping skills for anxiety, working through depression together, or untangling complicated family dynamics. I won't push you faster than you're ready to go. What I will do is show up fully, highlight your strengths, and do the work alongside you, at your pace, toward goals that actually matter to you.

What you can expect from me

You don't need to have it all figured out before we meet. In our first session, I'll focus on getting to know you. Who you are, what's brought you here, and what you're hoping for. We'll start to map out what the work might look like and build a treatment plan together. If there's trauma in the picture, we'll go carefully. If there's a crisis, we'll address it. Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling heard. It's an honor to be trusted with your story, and I don't take that lightly.
