Life, at times, can feel heavy and you don’t need to carry the burden of your struggles or experiences alone. It can be challenging to find a space to open up about all the different areas of your life that make you who you are, past and present, and your hope for the future. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma, 1st gen family or cultural conflicts, coping with life transitions, relationship issues, identifying & setting healthy boundaries, or the myriad challenges that can arise, I am here to support you in finding your peace.

Are you not feeling like your usual self? Are stress, work, family pressure, relocation and/or life overwhelming you? Is there simply too much going on? Sometimes our brain won't turn off worrying, sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed or get a good night's rest, other times it is tough to buckle down and focus. If you'd like to feel more calm, more relaxed, less upset, and more happy - let's chat. Therapy can help, even if you're not sure how. My approach focuses not just on having fewer negative emotions, but also on experiencing more positive emotions. I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness.

As a therapist, I provide respect and empathy towards clients from all walks of life. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults who suffer from anxiety and depression. I am very compassionate and committed to working together to generate positive change. I offer to create an environment where clients are comfortable in working at their own pace and expressing their feelings and discussing their experiences when they are ready. Together we will implement and explore strategies that will help address and manage whatever situation being faced.

I use a client-driven approach when working with clients. I will ask guiding questions to assist clients to learn more about themselves, strive to have clients to self-identify root causes of certain patterns and behaviors that they are experiencing, and provide encouragement to clients to strengthen their self-esteem and confidence. I use Internal Family Systems, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Coaching, and Family Dynamics Therapy systems.

Living in fear, & avoidance is much the same as not living at all. Although pain is a universal inevitability across all life forms, suffering is a uniquely human quality. But, does suffering have to be terminal? Is it always destined? I am confident in my ability to help folks navigate the entanglement & beauty of sexuality, gender, spirituality, race, culture, & identity. I specialize in depression, complex trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, acculturation & race-based stress, sexual abuse, & interpersonal conflicts. My goal is to help you feel liberated in your body, unashamedly free, & excited for the future. So how do we do this together?

Life is a rollercoaster ride. But no matter where you find yourself on this unpredictable journey of highs and lows remember, you’re not alone. As a passionate psychotherapist, I’m committed to empowering your path to emotional resilience one session at a time. My experiences encompass a wide spectrum of mental health challenges, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, ADHD, grief, substance abuse, as well as complex issues related to racial, sexual and gender identity.

If you are a queer and/or trans person of color looking to explore the ways that your intersectional identities shape your life, I may be the right fit for you! I'm interested in working with folks who want to move beyond mainstream, Western narratives of mental health and well-being, and connect with the roots and paths that have forged your unique path. How do we define our "best self", and what societal structures may have impacted that idea? How do we move towards being more comfortable and vulnerable at the expense of shattering lifelong ideas of how we are meant to live?

I utilize a strengths-based approach to help my clients recognize the skills and abilities they already possess, starting with showing up to therapy and wanting to make changes in their life. I also use a holistic approach to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of my client’s life can lead to concerns in other areas. I apply evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, depending on the individuals needs.

I work with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. My work is rooted in gender-affirming therapy for those seeking exploration and support around their gender identities. I also work with those who are living with addiction and recovery. I work with clients who live, work and play under a cloak of secrecy; the outside world sees them as goal-driven professionals who have stable relationships and a host of family and friends. My clients hide their struggles with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, and Substance Use. My clients want to live and love authentically.

I believe my 10 years of experience has given me the strength and compassion to work with adults and elderly people. I have worked with clients with chronic medical diagnosis including adults discharged from nursing homes into the community. My clients were provided with emotional support and resources to readjust in the home and community.

Seeking someone to speak to can be the first step to improving your mental health. It can be difficult, but it can be an illuminating experience to look deeper within yourself. Speaking with someone can eliminate the feeling of being alone, and provide you with the support you need to work toward developing coping skills and explore how to make yourself live the life you want to live. As a first-generation Indo-Caribbean woman, I have learned to acknowledge and welcome the delights and difficulties of a multicultural identity. One of these very difficulties is the avoidance of addressing mental health.

I work with adults experiencing interpersonal conflict, family conflict, self-esteem issues, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and anger management. I work collaboratively with clients to explore and enhance their motivation for change. By working together, we can strengthen your drive to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through this approach, we can establish safety, trust, and empowerment in our therapeutic relationship, helping you heal and regain control over your life.

Do you find that your self-worth and happiness are largely dependent on other people, places, and things? The validation gained from external variables tend to be short lived, leading to an overdrive in reassurance seeking behaviors, fear, anxiety, and sadness. No matter how difficult it may seem to feel secure within yourself, together we will pursue a journey of self-empowerment and self-compassion, to achieve exactly that! We will explore the root causes of current belief systems and attachment styles, while taking mindful steps to nurture a life that honors your needs.
