Great to meet you! I am a Jamaican born licensed professional counselor who conducts sessions in both English and Jamaican Patois. I am trained in marriage, couple, and family therapy as well as trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT). I believe that we are all born with the inner power we need to become the agents of change in our own lives. Through building a collaborative partnership with each client, I provide support to teens (16+), college students, and adults in the areas of anxiety, grief, life transitions, postpartum anxiety, betrayal trauma, teen trauma, Caribbean women concerns, 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 approach is direct, warm and empowering. My therapeutic approach mainly utilizes techniques from Structural Therapy, CBT, and Narrative Therapy; elements from other approaches are incorporated based upon the unique needs. My work always involves a review of ecosystemic influences (e.g. family, culture, school/job, friends, interest) as everyone's unique experience can affect their starting points/needs presentation. The unknown aspects of starting therapy for the first time or with a new therapist can be scary. My goal is to work with you to eliminate/minimize these aspects by providing a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable and supported on your therapeutic journey. If you are ready to take the step, I invite you to schedule a consultation call.
