Associate Therapist | New York, New Jersey | Telehealth

About Me

I support individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or strained in their relationships and are looking for therapy that feels supportive, grounding, and collaborative. As a Caribbean African American therapist, I provide culturally responsive, holistic care that honors your lived experience, values, and identity.

My approach is warm, client-centered, and grounded in whole-person care. Therapy with me is a space to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment while developing insight and practical tools for everyday life.

Who I Support

I work with individuals and couples navigating:

• Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
• Trauma and difficult life experiences
• Relationship challenges and communication concerns
• Self-esteem and identity exploration
• Clients from diverse and multicultural backgrounds seeking affirming care

My Approach

I draw from evidence-based and holistic practices, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns
• Narrative Therapy to help reframe personal stories and support empowerment
• Mindfulness-based strategies to build emotional awareness and regulation
• Culturally responsive, client-centered care

My focus is helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and sustainable change.

Education & Professional Status

Master of Arts in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling – New York University (in progress)

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology – City University of New York

I practice under clinical supervision in accordance with New York State regulations. Ongoing supervision supports ethical, high-quality care and helps ensure you receive thoughtful, client-centered treatment while your privacy remains protected.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I enjoy cooking and watching a good movie. I value having time to unwind and believe that everyday moments like these can support emotional balance and well-being.
