Identity Issues

Great to meet you!

I’m a caribbean woman and licensed mental health counselor dedicated to holding sacred space for people—especially women of color—as they navigate life transitions, rediscover their worth, and heal from the wounds of misalignment and burnout. With over a decade of experience working with youth, families, college students, and professionals, I bring both clinical skill and cultural attunement to the therapeutic space. You won’t have to shrink, perform, or explain your humanity here. This is a space for your truth to breathe.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is holistic, relational, identity-affirming and electic. I center each client's lived experience and help them explore the intersections of race, gender, culture, spirituality, and personal values. I integrate various therapies such as DBT, psychodynamic, person-centered, narrative and existential therapies with culturally grounded practices, often weaving in mindfulness and somatic awareness. Whether we’re unpacking the past or envisioning the future, our work will always come back to your present alignment and sense of self.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to walk away feeling seen, supported, and more connected to who you truly are. Together, we’ll move through self-doubt, grief, or uncertainty toward clarity, self-compassion, and intentional growth. Clients often leave sessions with deeper insight, practical tools for emotional regulation, and a renewed sense of agency in their lives. Our work will help you not only heal—but also embody the joy, rest, and love you deserve.
