You’re someone who’s felt stuck—overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, or caught between cultures and identity. You want relief, clarity, to feel seen instead of hidden. You long to heal relational wounds, trust yourself, and build a future rooted in strength and authenticity. I provide trauma‑informed, culturally attuned care—drawing on holistic, relational approaches including CBT, psychodynamic work, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and self‑compassion—so you can grow resilience and move forward more whole, grounded, and free.
I offer trauma‑aware support for post‑traumatic stress, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Rooted in my Caribbean culture, I hold affirming space where together we build resilience, find clarity, and heal. My approach blends CBT, psychodynamic, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and self‑compassion.
Healing from anxiety, trauma, or substance use? You’re not alone. I offer empathetic, lived-experience care. I offer sessions Monday–Friday: 1:00PM- 10:00 PM Saturday–Sunday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, at $200/session, with sliding scale options available. Message via Psychology Today with your name, email, & phone to schedule.
