Teletherapy for Virgin Islands

I enjoy helping to support people as they navigate through the many different waves of life. I help to create a warm, non judgmental, and supportive environment where clients are free to talk about their stories. I draw from a number of different treatment modalities, but most importantly, meet the client where they are at. While each individual's experience is unique, I regularly work with clients around topics related to anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, relationship concerns, sexuality, ADHD, life's transitions, familial conflict and many more.

We are community-based, which means we meet you where you are. We also provide an in-clinic experience for those just needing to get out of the chaos and distractions of everyday life to focus on their therapeutic goals.

I am passionate about helping people find healthy pathways to process hardships, trauma, and abuse. On this journey, I have learned the importance of the mind-body connection and am inspired to guide clients through a holistic approach to treatment. I assist clients in coping with the physical symptoms of trauma such as panic attacks, insomnia, anxiety, disordered eating, substance abuse, irritability or outbursts of anger, flashbacks, self-injurious behaviors, and other natural reactions survivors experience. My goal is to create a support system and assist clients along their personal path towards physical and mental well-being.

Understanding the underlying causes of why you feel the way you do can be complicated. I use a uniquely integrated approach to help my clients maximize their health and wellness. Together we will assess your wellness from a physical, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual approach. We will look at your lifestyle choices in these areas as I empower and support you to create the changes necessary to lead a healthy life in mind, body, and spirit.
