About My Clients

Through forming a collaborative partnership, I provide support to teens (16+), college students, and adults in the areas of anxiety, grief, life transitions, postpartum anxiety, betrayal trauma, teen trauma, and being the teen or adult child of Caribbean immigrants. I also provide support to couples in the areas of communication, premarital, pre-engagement and pre-cohabitation.

My Background and Approach

I am trained in both marriage, couple, and family therapy (MCFT) and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). My approach is direct, warm and empowering. My therapeutic style possesses systemic undertones and mainly utilizes techniques from Structural Therapy, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy. Elements from other approaches are incorporated as needed for a client's unique needs. My work with clients always involves a review of ecosystemic influences (e.g. family, culture, school/work, friends, interests) as everyone possesses unique experiences that can affect their starting points and needs presentation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we are all born with the inner power we need to become the agents of change in our own lives; it's just that sometimes we need a little help cultivating it. Through a collaborative partnership, I hope to provide an environment where each client can feel heard, safe and empowered to foster said inner agent of change.
