Do you find it difficult to ask for help? Asking for assistance doesn't equate to weakness, it's actually a strength! As an African American / Caribean counselor I am able to serve my community with relatable shared experiences. I pride myself on encouraging my clients to see and be the light that is already within them. I use an integrative approach in that each individual is unique and processes thoughts differently. Mindfulness-based CBT allows clients to find peace within themselves through grounding. This heightened awareness of self enables us to live in accordance with our values even in the face of opposition.

If you could change 3 things about yourself, what would they be and how committed are you to making those changes? We all have areas in our lives that need attention. While many of us admit to our struggles, only a few of us are bold and courageous enough to do the work. And even when we have the courage, sometimes it’s difficult for us to even imagine a fully satisfying life. Especially when we feel hopeless and out of options. Living life as a winner is an adventure. An adventure that often requires guidance and a little bit of therapeutic support. That’s where you and I meet. I’m here to help you harness the power within you!
