HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
EMDR TREATMENT
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that focuses on the patient's trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (usually through eye movements). The bilateral movements help reduce the intensity of the emotions associated with the traumatic memories. The therapist can introduce the bilateral movements through sound, sight, or touch, even through a virtual EMDR session.
COUPLES THERAPY
Experience revitalizing your relationship through thorough and efficient couples therapy sessions. Transform resentment and contempt into satisfaction and enjoyment. Learn the proven Seven Principles for making a marriage work by Gottman and Silver, along with enhanced communication, problem-solving, and time-management techniques to overcome challenges and strengthen your bond. From initial assessment to final session, we'll support you in leveraging your strengths and fostering growth.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Feeling lost, anxious, or stuck? We're here to help. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. We facilitate positive behavioral change by fostering a new outlook and adopting healthier responses. With our expertise and tools, let's navigate your path forward together.

my story
meet the founder
As a bi-cultural Caribbean native, I've navigated identity challenges that fuel my passion for helping others find their voice and set boundaries.
During my undergraduate studies, I began guiding students toward successful futures and healthy relationships as a school counselor. Later, on the jail diversion team in Washington, D.C., I specialized in trauma therapy. With over two decades of therapy experience, I aim to provide practical tools in a confidential setting, helping clients manage anxiety, heal from trauma, and improve relationships. My goal is to foster self-worth, community, and hope in individuals and couples.
my background
I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Psychology from Argosy University and a Bachelor of Arts in Developmental Psychology from the University of the Virgin Islands. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in General Psychology at Grand Canyon University, with a long term research goal focusing on reducing aggression in inner-city African American young adults with the penal system only as a last resort. I intend to use quantitative methods to explore evidence-based methods to increase emotional intelligence to reduce youth violence.
WHY CHOOSE ME
-
As a clinician trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I have acquired the necessary skills to handle trauma issues that arise in adolescence. Additionally, I can provide support for anxiety and depression, as well as relationship issues that stem from these experiences.
-
As a therapist working with couples, I have realized that utilizing evidence-based treatments for couple work is necessary for achieving desired results. I became a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator and Trainer to train other clinicians to work with couples. I use my knowledge to provide culturally competent therapy that improves couple intimacy, builds trust and communication skills, and assists with the next step in their relationship, even post-infidelity. Being a wife myself, I understand the challenges that come with marriage. Though it may seem like any other dating relationship, I know from personal experience that building a deep and lasting love takes more than just a few fun dates.
