Psychotherapy is a transformative experience that empowers you to explore your inner self in an affirming and nonjudgmental environment. This collaborative process involves us working together to navigate challenges and foster personal growth in a way that is uniquely tailored to your needs. I will accompany you on a journey of deep introspection into your thoughts and emotions, aiming to enhance your understanding of yourself, your patterns, and your potential for positive change. Ultimately, psychotherapy is a powerful tool for navigating life's complexities, fostering empowerment, and facilitating genuine, lasting transformation.
I adopt an integrative approach drawing from several theories. This allows me to create a personalized treatment plan for clients. Psychodynamic Therapy & Multicultural Psychology are at the core of my practice. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), spirituality, culture, & broader sociopolitical factors.
I often work with older adolescents, adults, professionals, people of color, immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community. Issues addressed include depression, anxiety, identity development, self-esteem, life changes, relationships, and experiences of marginalization. As a queer Jamaican immigrant, I'm dedicated to creating space for often overlooked voices.

My approach involves understanding how past experiences, relationships, emotions, and thoughts shape who you are today. I use a developmental and sociopolitical lens to understand you in your environment better. Also, I use empowerment to help you (re)connect with your authentic self and (re)discover your capacity for self-actualization.
