Associate Therapist | New York, New Jersey | Telehealth

About Me

I support children, teens, and adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck and want therapy that feels grounding, affirming, and practical. As a multiracial Guyanese American therapist from Queens, I offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that respects your lived experience and identity.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, build insight, and develop tools that help you feel more emotionally steady and confident in daily life.

Who I Support

I work with individuals navigating:

• Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
• Trauma and past experiences that continue to impact the present
• Life transitions and identity exploration
• Autism spectrum-related support for children, teens, and adults
• BIPOC and multicultural clients seeking affirming care

My Approach

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

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Mind-body strategies for emotional regulation
• Culturally responsive, identity-affirming care
• Trauma-informed approaches that center safety and resilience

My focus is helping you feel more grounded, self-aware, and in control—at a pace that feels right for you.

Education & Professional Status

Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling – Queens College (in progress)

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology – City College of New York, CUNY

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 baking, staying active, traveling, and spending time with loved ones. I value balance and intentional self-care and encourage clients to define wellness in ways that feel realistic and sustainable.
