WELCOME – A SPACE FOR YOU TO HEAL & GROW
You’ve carried the weight of the past long enough. The patterns you were taught—the ones that kept you surviving but not thriving—end here. Whether it’s unprocessed trauma showing up in your relationships, stress manifesting in your body, or financial struggles rooted in generational habits, you’re ready for change.
​
I believe therapy should be a safe, affirming space for everyone —especially for those who have felt unseen or unheard in traditional mental health settings. While I’m deeply passionate about supporting Black women, women of color—especially those from the Caribbean diaspora—my practice is open to anyone who resonates with my healing approach and values culturally grounded, trauma-informed care.
​
I welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds, and neurotypes, including those navigating ADHD, high sensitivity, financial stress, or the complex intersections of race, culture, and mental health. This is a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without judgment.
​
Through trauma-informed therapy, I help you release stored pain, understand your emotions, and build self-trust. With financial coaching, we tackle the money wounds keeping you stuck, so you can create stability and abundance—without fear, shame, or guilt.
​
No sugarcoating. No endless venting with no solutions. Just real strategies to help you break cycles and step into the life you deserve.
My Approach & Experience
Therapy should be real, relatable, and actually helpful. My work combines my professional training with real-life understanding. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Certified Financial Social Worker (CFSW), with 5+ years of experience helping people through mental health struggles, financial stress, and generational trauma.
My approach includes:
Culturally Responsive Therapy
Your experiences matter—
I create a space where you feel seen and understood.
Trauma-Informed & Somatic Practices
Healing isn’t just in your mind it’s also in your body. We’ll use mindfulness and body awareness to help you feel more in control.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A simple, effective way to understand and change unhelpful thought patterns.
Financial & Life Stress Support
Understanding how your past, culture, and emotions shape your views on money and success.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
A practical, strengths-based approach to create real change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helping you let go of struggles and focus on what really matters in your life.
Neurodivergent-Friendly Therapy
