I am a first generation Afro-Caribbean, born and raised New Yorker from the Bougie down Bronx and proud mother of one. I am compassionate about working with adult women and BIPOC individuals. Throughout my mental health experience, I have treated clients with anxiety, depression, and trauma. My passion is in trauma, most specifically generational trauma. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Hunter College.
I am an empathetic and active listener with an approach that is warm, inviting and collaborative. My goal for clients to feel comfortable and trusting throughout the therapeutic relationship. I work with evidence based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I am trained in EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
I focus on assessment, diagnosing, and providing psychotherapy to clients to understand how to manage their symptoms. I also provide my clients a safe space for reflection and processing, backed by utilizing evidence based methods. Clients can expect to feel seen and heard after their first session with the readiness to begin their therapeutic journey.
