Life can be difficult to navigate and can bring challenges to finding safety and security within the spaces we are in. You may be experiencing the following: struggling with the instability created throughout the pandemic, or seeking support after coming out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, or exploring the impact of your cultural identity, or trauma. I provide an affirming and strength-focused space for you to be heard as you address any of these areas and more.
​
As a first-generation American from a black Jamaican household, I prioritize the intersectionality of culture and mental health as sometimes our environments have created barriers to accessing wellness. My focus lies is to foster empowerment and healing through an anti-oppressive lens. I intentionally hold space for adult BIPOC folx, LGTBQIA+ folx, current and prior athletes, those experiencing life changes, and new parents. My style is warm, non-pathologizing, and empowering, with a bit of humor and a lot of realness. Trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, chronic illness, gender and sexuality challenges are all current areas of focus. I am fully trained in EMDR through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. To support you in your healing journey, I utilize EMDR, Psychodynamic, mindfulness and movement, Attachment-based, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approaches.
​
My motto is COLLECTIVE UNAPOLOGETIC HEALING THROUGH FULL BODY WELLNESS, supporting adult individuals in understanding the connection between mental health and physical health through an anti-oppressive and empowering lens. We will laugh, we may cry, but nonetheless we will celebrate all your wins in your journey (big and small). TOGETHER we will address deep-rooted challenges, achieve mindfulness, and breathe life back into your body (literally!). “Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.” — Toni Morrison
