You should not have to face life transitions alone or silently. Therapy should feel collaborative and authentic for it to be most effective. Together, I work with my clients to unpack any negative thought patterns that could make them feel anxious, scared, or stuck. I am honored to be on the journey with clients as they increase their emotional awareness and start to make the changes needed to become the best version of themselves.

You struggle with self-acceptance and often see yourself through a harsh and unforgiving lens. Unable to manage your anxiety, grief, anger or depression, you often behave in ways you later regret. Flooded with shame and remorse for your inability to achieve true happiness, the inner punishment starts all over again. Feeling all alone with no one to confide in, you fear you're the only one who can't cope. You dream of the day you can wake up excited and motivated to put yourself more fully into your life without fear and self-doubt. You just know there is more to life and you long to connect to your purpose and joy.

Underearning? "Undersucceeding?" Underadulting? Overwhelmed?

We’ll explore experiences that have shaped your sense of self, affected how you relate to others, impacted what you expect and allow in your life, and influenced how you cope.

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.

I view therapy as a partnership designed to disentangle life’s complexities on the pathway to wholeness. For many clients this involves struggles with issues from their past, making sense of their emotions or dealing with one of life's many transitions. Others are in need of support around grief or working through relationship issues. My training as a former Diversity, Equity and Inclusion professional has taught me to view my clients through a multicultural lens that acknowledges and values all parts of their identity. As partners we will create adaptive coping strategies to bring clients into better alignment and fulfillment.
