Here to help.

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.

I'm a New York city-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I am also licensed in the state of California. I work with individual adults as they manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, marriage, relationship, and dating issues, aging and caregiving concerns, parenting, pregnancy, and career and life transitions. Therapy meets you where you are. Clients seek my help for many reasons. Whether you're struggling with a crisis, managing painful or difficult emotions, or just interested in learning more about yourself, therapy can help you explore who you are and what has shaped you. Examining your personal history helps you begin the discovery process. Sometimes we adopt roles based on old patterns that don't serve us any longer. I help my clients uncover the stories they've convinced themselves or true, or that others have told you. These stories often keep you stuck. Therapy helps you identify unconscious obstacles to achieving goals, enabling you to begin the healing process feeling authentic and happier. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds. I have over 20 years of experience working successfully with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety and who are experiencing problems in their relationships. I have expertise in working with individuals who have mentally ill family members, as well as caregivers; individuals coping with the pressure of caring for aging loved ones.

I use an insightful and personalized approach to help clients identify barriers to happiness and gain a better understanding of their emotions and experiences. Knowing yourself deeply is an essential ingredient in creating the life you want, and this type of emotional learning ideally occurs within the context of a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help clients explore behavioral patterns and achieve psychological well-being. My approach focuses on helping clients with a range of issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and anger management. I provide clients with the emotional self-regulation tools, coping and communication skills, mindfulness techniques, and self-management strategies needed to cultivate change.

You may be thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring, yet in your closest relationships, something still feels off. You might notice yourself reacting more strongly than you want to, repeating the same patterns, or leaving conversations feeling misunderstood or disconnected. If you’re here, you’ve likely already spent time trying to understand it. And at some point, it begins to feel like insight alone isn’t enough. I help you slow things down and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath those moments. Together, we look at the patterns shaping how you relate, how you respond under stress, how you protect yourself, and how those patterns show up in your relationships today. This work is not about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand your experience in a way that creates space for you to respond with more clarity, steadiness, and intention. As we work together, you’ll begin to notice: less reactivity more awareness in the moment a stronger sense of yourself and a more grounded way of connecting I provide a space that is thoughtful, steady, and nonjudgmental, where you don’t have to perform to be understood. From there, real change becomes possible.

I am available for LPC Supervision in both TX and CT. I hire highly motivated, self-driven associates who are eager to learn about private practice, the methods studied in graduate school, as well as the methods I've written over my years as a counselor and supervisor. I pride myself in offering a path toward high-end therapeutic care in a private practice setting. My approach to personal growth with clients (and associates) is heart-first, inclusive, and unapologetically outside the box. I’m less interested in “fixing” you and more interested in really knowing you, your patterns, your pain, your humor, your history, and the parts of you that are still becoming. I blend solid clinical training with creativity, curiosity, and a deep respect for every walk of life. Together, we’ll rethink old stories, challenge what no longer fits, and build something more honest and alive. If you’re longing for a therapist who brings both clinical depth and real-world humanity, you’re in the right place.
