Creative arts therapy focuses on your journey working through these themes; it is not focused on artistry or artistic ability I have experience working with underserved populations, people with IDD, LGBTQIA+, relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, and people from various walks of life.
The idea of therapy can be a very scary thought. Often times we see ourselves as flawed or somehow less than what we are. The journey of therapy is essentially an exploration of learning and developing self. Through this journey we come to love and find pride in the parts of ourselves that we wanted to hide from the world. You are not a problem to be solved, you are a being that is learning to evolve. Therapy creates a safe space for you to discover acceptance from within, to further guide you as you evolve on this journey we call life.

I work with people who have experienced all different types of trauma, as well as those coping with grief, loss, performance anxiety, and issues of self-worth.
I work with individuals and families using different modalities including Somatic Experiencing, which I use as a framework to bring awareness and sensation of the body into our sessions. My passion is helping people who are in states of overwhelm, or freeze begin to understand and feel more embodied.

In the field of social work for 45 years, I specialize in working individually with LGBTQ+ young people. While acquiring deeper insight into what makes you tick, putting that knowledge to work is key. Setting realistic, attainable goals is an indispensable part of the process. Psychoanalytic and relational theories inform my work, and I view the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of treatment.

For people dealing with trauma, grief, and relationship concerns, we will spend the first sessions understanding your goals and developing grounding techniques.
Your life looks great on paper and on the surface you are thriving…and yet, underneath it all, there is a sense of dread, life feels dull, and it feels like you’re stuck on autopilot. Do you find yourself thinking over and over again about the same events or memories from your life? Do you find yourself withdrawing from your closest relationships? Are you noticing that you have a short fuse? Many times the unresolved hurt in our past re-emerges in our present. Addressing these recurring patterns and their lingering effects is possible.

I am specifically passionate about grief and the ways we can all confront and cope with it healthily.
I’m a Pisces and I’m West African, born and raised in the Bronx. I’m part of the team here at Flexible Mind Therapy and I’m really glad you’re here. I promise we’re real humans here—no judgment, just support (and probably a few laughs too).” I learned early on in my life the importance of caring for one’s mental health and how it can affect all aspects of our lives, this awareness ultimately led me to become a Therapist.
