I’m glad you’re here. I’m a warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental therapist who truly wants to know you—not just what’s going wrong, but who you are as a whole person. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their growth. If you’ve been looking for a space where you can feel understood and supported, you’re in the right place.

My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and isolated in their experiences, but after working together, they often feel more empowered and less alone. My Caribbean heritage has shaped my worldview and instilled in me a strong sense of compassion. By drawing on the wisdom of our ancestors and the strength of our communities, we can navigate life's challenges with resilience and hope. I specialize in supporting clients who feel as if they are barely holding it together.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry? Is every day filled with anxiety or sadness? Perhaps you lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues? Has Covid perhaps made you feel even more that you are not in control of your life? Is all of this making it harder and harder to cope with everyday life? I know what it means to get to a place where you can have peace, self-acceptance and contentment, where you can find meaning and happiness in your life, whatever you decide to accomplish.


I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and the elderly. Using many practices that have been proven to work, including mindfulness and meditation, we will work together to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.

Being human means struggling sometimes, and being human means finding the ability to go beyond our struggles. By working together, we will help you learn new skills and use your own wisdom to reach your goals and build greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, overcome depression, anxiety, stress and self-worth issues, and live a fuller and happier life.
