Introduction

I'm so glad you're here. Raise your hand (or just nod at your screen) if any of these hit close to home: * I feel anxious or overwhelmed * I struggle with building or maintaining relationships * I can’t find purpose and meaning in my life * I need to talk through a specific challenge * I want to gain self-confidence * I want to improve myself, but I don’t know where to start I'm a Caribbean American therapist who believes healing should feel like being seen, not being studied. Think of me as your warm, wise, slightly nosy (in a caring way) guide through life's plot twists. What I help with? Depression, anxiety, stress, and family drama that makes holiday dinners feel like a season finale. I also help with confidence, big life transitions, and that "wait, who am I now?" feeling. Your space, your pace. My session is a judgment-free zone. Bring the social anxiety, the loneliness, the guilt that won't leave, the shame you've been carrying, and the days you can't stand the mirror. Nothing here will shock me, and all of it is welcome . Who I love working with Women and young adults on the road to self-love, better communication, and closer connections, starting with the one you have with yourself. I also work with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, caregiver burnout (yes, even the strong one who holds everyone together needs support), and the big questions about purpose and forgiveness. Why I might be your person I get the "both/and."
