I am an Afro-Caribbean immigrant psychotherapist who has served communities of color for over 14 years.
I specialize in treating depression and anxiety disorders, and I am highly trained in trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based practice and mindfulness.
I believe that besides providing a safe space to process, healing can also come through psychoeducation, movement work, ancestral healing/breaking generational traumas as well as community engagement. I include these modalities in session when appropriate as I understand that unique individuals require unique ways of healing. Let's heal!

It brings aid to the island and a fresh perspective to foreigners who often don't have access to firsthand see and learn about life island. As a Caribbean person who lives in the United States, learning about how the island approaches healthcare, social work and education was truly enlightening and inspiring.
I recharge by spending time in nature.
