I am a Christian Counselor. I believe that psychotherapy is more effective when Christ is central to the process. Since God created the child, adolescent and his/her parents, He is the one with the wisdom to bring healing and restoration to the family. Though I have specialized with children and adolescents many adults have requested to see me and now my practice is expanding to include adults.
Christian Counseling unites Biblical values with the power of the Holy Spirit, together with the knowledge base of psychology and social work to bring emotional and mental health healing to people.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience. So many times we go through the stresses of life such as relationships, work, finances, self-doubt, and self-esteem; appearing on the outside to have it all together but on the inside feeling depressed or overwhelmed. What would happen if everyone accepted that it is okay to not always be okay? I invite you to a nurturing and non-judgmental space where you feel seen and supported. Together, we can work through these feelings while also working on building greater self-awareness, developing coping skills, and improving overall well-being.

I work comfortably with adolescents and adults. Offering them a comfortable, safe and non-judgemental environment. Therapy starts when a person picks up the phone to make their first appointment and he/or she states to the therapist their presenting problem, that single action takes a brave soul to announce out loud to a total stranger their problem. I honor that person and their strength. I am a eclectic therapist with a broad knowledge of expertise. Using the best therapy modality that will best fit my client's needs, so that they may reach their goals and decrease their stress and anxiety.

Do you tell everyone you’re “fine” while secretly battling stress in silence? Are you finding it difficult to prioritize your mental health amidst the hustle and grind of NYC? Do you feel stuck between your day-to-day routine and figuring out how to achieve the life you envisioned for yourself? As someone who grew up in Caribbean culture, I understand the lack of safe spaces to talk about the emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical stressors that exist when you’re just going through the motions.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
