Hailing from the beautiful Caribbean, I bring a diverse skill set. I help my clients achieve their maximum potential by using an integrative approach to counseling. Like the butterfly that goes through stages and changes, so it is in the counseling process. As we work together we will look at the past, present, and future and find healthy ways of processing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and progress through the stages of change. I have over 15 years of experience in the counseling field. I am very passionate about helping you emerge into that beautiful butterfly. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and trained in traumatic incident reduction. I use a person-centered approach to help my clients live authentic lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
