I help others find empowerment and mindfully engage in a process of self-discovery and transformation. It is a privilege helping others work through challenges throughout the lifespan using culturally-affirming practices. I specialize in anxiety, identity development, and racial trauma, and I collaborate with clients to support their journey toward achieving therapy goals.

Individual Therapy

I work with clients to improve the “What Now” and discover the “What’s Next.” I deeply value working with traditionally marginalized communities, such as first-generation immigrants, individuals of the Caribbean diaspora, and multicultural people adapting to predominantly white spaces (corporate world, law firms, office/hybrid workspaces, colleges/universities, etc.). I am anchored by a social justice lens that incorporates the use of interpersonal theories. My approach to therapy is authentic, warm, and inviting, and it is not uncommon for me to use humor in treatment. I have worked across the lifespan and many professions including artistic and elite athletes who are navigating the pressures of their sport, recovering from injuries, and exploring their identity beyond athletics.

Experience

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the District of Columbia, State of Maryland, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. I obtained a PsyD from The George Washington University completing my internship at Appalachian State University’s Counseling Center focusing on Sports Psychology. I also earned a MPsy in Psychology during my time at GWU and a MS in Clinical Psychology from Barry University, as well as a BFA in Dance from The Alvin Ailey School/Fordham University.

Clinically, I rely on a psychodynamic orientation and intertwine feminist and multicultural perspectives. My professional training includes hospitals, substance rehabilitation, private practices, a community mental health clinic, and in-home therapy.
