I love working with all ages but have specific expertise working with children as young as 2 years old in English, Spanish, French, and some very basic Mandarin. After training together in individual, family, and Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) my mother and I founded The Hamilton Practice in 1995. As we worked with survivors of childhood trauma and sexual abuse in Harlem for a combined seventeen years, we were stunned by the miracles that unfolded as we applied the power and simplicity of CCPT. My mom left her body in August 2021, so you will see only me, but you will be benefiting from the synergy of two generations.

I prioritize a collaborative relationship and a customized treatment plan that works best for clients and their families to meet their goals. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma , self-esteem and behavioral challenges in children, adolescents, and young adults.

I'm a non-binary, white Transperson who works with adults, children, teens, and families.

Do daily tasks seem overwhelming? Do you have difficulty getting out of bed? Do you get triggered by things you see or hear?

In life we all experience moments throughout this journey where we are found in the crossroads. We struggle with conflicts in relationships, work, and also within ourselves. We live therefore we are human. We experience pain because we are human. At times, we need an empathetic ear, professional counsel and a safe environment to process interpersonal struggle. I am here to help you in that journey. Therapy as a first time experience can be frightening for some therefore, it is essential to have a therapist that can listen first and join with you as a person.
