I believe therapy is about hope, and that it is an act of self-care. There are times in our lives when we experience pain and confusion and find that what we've been doing isn't working as well anymore. I believe individuals have the answers that are best for them. Those answers, however, are buried under the muck - the stuff of life that has accumulated over the years. It is my loving role to help you sort through that to access that part of you that is wise and has those right answers.

Are you struggling with mental health symptoms - anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, intrusive thoughts, isolation, loneliness, grief or general "stress"? The discomfort may be the result of a short-term situational experience. Or it could be something you have struggled with for years. Counseling or psychotherapy can help you reduce or eliminate the discomfort you are experiencing. Just as people at times experience uncomfortable physical health symptoms, they can also experience uncomfortable mental health symptoms. The good news is, you can regain control over your emotions, your thoughts and your life!

My job as a therapist is to help you explore yourself and decide what you want to do with that information. Life can be challenging and sometimes we find ourselves in somewhat of a cycle wondering 'why does this keep happening?' I invite you to take control of your situation and find the courage to move in a new direction. This journey can lead you to resolution and growth as you incorporate what you learn in therapy to your everyday life.

As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals

I feel that an honest and emotionally safe relationship is necessary for fostering positive change. We will identify your unique strengths, while also helping you alleviate psychological distress. I tailor the therapy and treatment goals to meet your needs, and I will ask for your feedback. I conceptualize human suffering from a psychodynamic lens, which means that I am interested in how developmental factors, emotional functioning, and interpersonal patterns affect your relationship with yourself and important people in your life.
