I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) & Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), who is a passionate advocate for emotional wellness and mental health awareness. Raised in the Caribbean, where stigma around therapy often silenced emotional struggles, inspired my commitment to help others heal and grow without shame or fear. I hold a BA in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College and have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, and relational conflict.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Seeking therapy shows courage by acknowledging one's limits and seeking support to achieve the ideal healing one’s body and mind deserve. Therefore, I encourage clients to recognize the win of just showing up for their sessions.
Each session with me will be in a safe environment where it’s okay not to have it all figured out or to feel like you do. I support clients in understanding that therapy is a collaborative process, done at their own pace, to achieve the life change or improvement they desire.
