Seeking rapid transformation and lasting change? Choosing therapy is a brave act. However, traditional therapy often stops at insight. Practical tools that address difficult emotions foster sustainable growth. Recognized by The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, and others, I combine research-based therapeutic techniques. A standout is the 8-week program that goes beyond insight for rapid transformation.

Life in general can be challenging. Let me meet you where you are on your life’s journey. Many of us endure distress that has resulted in mental, emotional, and physical anguish. Did you know changing the way you think can influence how you feel and in turn how you behave and react to life challenges? Let me equip you with the tools necessary to challenge automatic thoughts and relieve tension caused by stress. My passion is to help people facilitate change by teaching a new way to “think” of challenges as we go about life.

Therapy is a journey where we work towards embracing who you are and who you are becoming. I believe we heal in community and in relationships. I strive to offer you a safe space to grow in connection to yourself and others. It can be incredibly difficult when we feel that our communities and relationships are a place that contributes to us feeling stuck, confused, frustrated or hopeless. When we explore the stories, triggers, patterns, attachment styles and pains that interfere with who and how you want to be, we make space for healing and growth.

I believe therapy helps us understand the power of the mind. This is especially useful when we feel disconnected, marginalized, or stigmatized. When we feel this way, learning how the mind channels this information through thoughts, feelings, emotions, and perceptions, can influence us to recognize our own cognitive processes and how they impact our life. If we attend to our cognitive processes in a healthy way, it may lead to regulation of mood, clarity, balance and feelings of peace. We start to evolve and accept certain things about ourselves. We begin to feel at peace from within. I help my clients through this process.

My areas of clinical focus are around men's issues and with members of the LGBTQ community. I'm committed to providing a safe and affirming environment where you can process your feelings, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. I'm not the kind of psychologist who sits silently and nods while you do all the work. I'm an active therapist and work collaboratively to help you increase self-awareness and identify a healthier path. Additionally, I draw on different theoretical approaches to adapt my work to your needs, but work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective.

My interests are to work with you,... If you are struggling with internal conflict that doesn't seem to dissipate; if you are struggling with developing life changes; if you feel you are in a relationship that could be richer and more satisfying, or are feeling it is time to reconsider a relationship; and most importantly, if you want to grow as an individual but feel unable to make that happen,

Growing up as a first generation in the United States, mental health is often unspoken as family is from Guyana, South America and we did not have conversations surrounding feelings. I believe in putting more focus to heal ourselves can lead to great results. I did not now know how to do that growing up, which affected my perspective and lack of awareness as an adult. I think about therapy as a healing journey, a way to learn more about yourself and learning new ways to take on challenges. I feel that everyone needs at least one person that can talk to and navigating through life for it should not be done alone.

I believe the past often shows up in the present and I strive to create a space where we can honor your story and help you feel grounded in the here and now. Having lived in several parts of the world and experienced many different cultures, I have found what remains universal are the ways in which people tell stories and make meaning of their experiences. This is a powerful tool in the therapeutic space as well and one I make room for. By focusing on the counseling relationship, my hope is to cultivate a space that is welcoming and free of judgment.
