My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.
My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.
I work with people who are thoughtful and self-aware, but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. You might find yourself caught between who you are and who you feel you’re “supposed” to be—driven more by pressure or anxiety than by a clear sense of what actually feels right. In our work together, the focus is on helping you understand yourself more deeply while also creating meaningful change. Sessions are active and collaborative, often incorporating humor and metaphor, with a balance of insight and practical movement forward. I draw from relational cultural theory, narrative therapy, and solution-focused approaches, adapting to what feels most helpful for you. My work is trauma-informed and identity-affirming, and I approach your story with curiosity, care, and respect. As a cis, queer man from the evangelical South, I bring lived insight into how power, privilege, and systems shape identity and mental health. I’m mindful of how these dynamics can show up both in your life and in the therapy room. Over time, clients often feel more grounded in who they are, more confident in their choices, and better able to move through uncertainty without losing themselves. If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free consultation to talk through what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit.
I am nurturing and thoughtful. I will help you find the words to describe your experience and ensure you feel seen and heard. I will also help you decode the language you use to describe your experiences to uncover core schemas that may be generating self-defeating patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I focus on your relational capacity, and can teach you how to be your most authentic Self and most effective advocate.
I believe that people already carry within them the capacity to grow, heal, and change. My role is to create a relationship where that capacity has room to surface. My approach is person-centered at its core: I offer warmth, unconditional positive regard, and genuine respect for your autonomy, because I've found that people move forward most fully when they feel understood rather than managed. Much of my work is with capable, driven people who are quietly running on empty. If you're navigating burnout, high-functioning anxiety, or the steady wear of daily pressures like long commutes, parenting, or raising a teenager, you'll find a space here to slow down, be heard, and make sense of what's happening. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in the present. We'll look at the patterns that keep you in overdrive, build practical tools you can use right away, and reconnect you with what matters most. As a licensed clinical social worker with Caribbean roots, I bring cultural sensitivity and a deep respect for resilience to everything I do. My style is warm, direct, and free of judgment. If any of this resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you.
People who come to my practice often feel let down by others, misunderstood, led to believe there is something wrong with them. In our work, I tend to be interested in how the past interacts with the present, helping you gain insight, self-acceptance, and self-awareness in a collaborative atmosphere. I will be your partner in the process, identifying problematic patterns of thought and behavior, understanding what's inhibiting you in relationships, and facilitating difficult emotions.
As a mental health professional in the age of the new millenium, I would describe my approach to helping people as integrative and holistic. As a therapist, I think it is crucial to create a loving, safe environment for each individual. Then specific to each individual, I create a plan integrating cognitive behavioral techniques, psychotherapy, visualization, relaxation, EMDR, hypnosis and reiki. Together with the client, we create a new positive self-image that can completely transform an individual's life. As Nelson Mandela said," Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure".

She also uniquely works with athletes and “former” athletes, exploring themes of identity and perfectionism.
If life feels overwhelming, you’re questioning aspects of your identity, or you’re ready to focus on your healing, therapy can offer a space to pause and reflect. In our work together, I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, gain insight into recurring patterns, and consider new ways of understanding yourself and your relationships. We’ll also acknowledge how larger systems and everyday contexts influence how you move through the world. Choosing a therapist is a personal and meaningful decision. If this approach feels aligned with what you’re looking for, I invite you to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute video consultation. I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. As a New York-based therapist, I specialize in supporting women and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties, and challenges with self-worth. I offer a warm, empowering, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood.

I will guide you in strengthening your relationships through improved communication, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering lasting, meaningful connections. My Vision: To empower individuals to lead lives rooted in purpose, inner peace, and authentic connection. I envision a world where people feel safe to be their true selves, face life’s challenges with resilience, and create relationships that nourish their well-being. Through compassionate therapy, my goal is to help you recognize and embrace your strengths, enabling you to live a life aligned with your values and aspirations. In our initial session, I focus on getting to know you as an individual and understanding how I can best support your goals. I take a holistic approach—recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit—and work with you to find balance across all areas of your life. My aim is to create a safe and comfortable space where you feel free to express yourself fully. I understand that every person’s journey is unique.

As a therapist, my approach is centered on your inner-world. Who you are on the inside matters much more than the circumstances of your life, and I am passionate about helping people grow to appreciate and be curious about themselves. Most of us have hidden parts of ourselves that we’ve tucked away because of life, but I’m here to help you explore those things and come more fully into yourself. My philosophy and approach to helping people is based on the goal of integration - helping you develop your whole self together. Feelings and thoughts are not enemies, and I am very interested in helping you connect fully and healthfully with both. I believe that therapy is not just about obtaining symptom relief; it is a way to develop and become a better-integrated person with a greater capacity to enjoy your life, work, relationships, and interests. I am a long-haul therapist. We all have experiences in our lives that were difficult, even traumatic, and that hinder us from experiencing what we need to in order to move on to the next stage of development. I am really interested in helping you remember what you need to - to make sense of and make peace with your past - and move forward. Change (both movement and loss) requires us to learn to let go of the way things were and embrace the new. I am committed to travel with you on this sometimes arduous journey.
