I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can explore how your past impacts your present and future. My goal is to empower you with insights into your mental health while helping you manage treatment-resistant symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, PTSD, relationship issues, and difficult life transitions. I also assist with emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and coping with chronic health conditions. Together, we will work toward lasting healing and positive change.

It's important to examine the origin of these thoughts and behaviors. In therapy, we explore your family of origin intergenerationally and develop connections from the past to the present. These include addictions, faulty thinking, and family roles. By exploring patterns that no longer work, we can collaborate and find better solutions.I provide a warm and safe space and treat you non-judgmentally and with respect and dignity.

People seek my help because of a troubled relationship or feelings of anxiety or depression caused by some important life disappointment. They are often internally conflicted about how to deal with their distress and seek understanding and guidance from a supportive professional. For men the focus is often on helping them become more emotionally self-aware and attentive to their partners; for women it often means helping them find ways to be more assertive and clear about their needs.

Grief and loss comes at us in many different way. Feeling lost after a major life transition? Devastated by a prognosis/diagnosis of you or a loved one? Confused what to do as a relationship changes? Sometimes we feel so overwhelmed we don't know what to do, or even where to start. I am experienced in helping people process grief, loss and change while not missing the opportunity for growth while acknowledging how difficult this time can be.

We all want happiness. But at some point in our lives we may feel stuck or face certain challenges and having the support of a caring therapist can help you understand more clearly what is going on and create new ways to think about yourself and your relationship with others. Therapy should be as unique as you are. While struggle is universal, people respond differently to different types of interventions; so I will tailor your treatment to respond to your specific needs, personality, situation, relationship, and comfort level. In addition to therapy I also provide Life Coaching.

We live in a high stress, fast paced society which could make it difficult to care for ourselves holistically (mind, body and spirit). This could lead to feeling unbalanced. I can help you identify and reach goals you will need on your path toward wellness. Therapy can help you relieve emotional stress and symptoms, realize your fullest potential and empower you to make positive, lasting changes in your life. In therapy, you will learn about yourself through looking within, develop skills and increase mindfulness as you become better able to confront life stress and obstacles you may be faced with.

Perhaps you feel more like a passenger than a driver on life's journey, as if you are not arriving at the destinations you imagined for yourself. You realize that the expectations set for you by others are no longer working for you. Things have not worked out the way you planned and through no fault of your own efforts the feelings of stress and anxiety remain overwhelming. You are seeking peace, clarity, personal growth and more meaning in life, you already know something needs to change and are uncertain how to go about it. Reaching out and asking for support is a great way to begin to help yourself feel better.

I am a firm believer in encouraging positivity, bolstering self-efficacy, and cultivating independence in others. My typical client is a child, adolescent, or young adult (age 3 to 29) who may be struggling academically, socially, or with developing effective emotional coping skills. Often, the individuals I see have difficulty with attention, concentration, organization, and with meeting the daily demands required of them at school. I also offer much support to parents who may be frustrated with their attempts at connecting with their kids and who are in need of guidance relating to discipline techniques and behavior management.

As an Indo-Caribbean-American mental health counselor, I bring a deep understanding and empathy to those grappling with mental health challenges. I know firsthand the cultural stigmas that often accompany these struggles. Growing up in a Guyanese household where emotions weren't openly discussed, I've experienced feelings of being misunderstood or ostracized after being vulnerable. I want you to know that I recognize these unique experiences and identities that shape our mental health perspectives. You can expect a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings in our sessions.
