As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with five years of experience, my work centers on helping adults navigate anxiety, relationship dynamics, and complex trauma so they can break old cycles, establish healthy boundaries, and reclaim control of their lives. While I have a particular passion for supporting BIPOC individuals and communities, I welcome and celebrate patients of all backgrounds. Anxiety and the weight of difficult relationships can make it hard to see a way forward. Together, we'll work to change that. I believe in the power of collaboration, allowing me to be your active, supportive partner in this process to help you cultivate a stronger sense of peace, self-awareness, and confidence in the life you want to build. Tailoring therapy to the unique individual rather than fitting anyone into a rigid structure is something I feel strongly about, because your healing should reflect who you are, not a one-size-fits-all model. That’s why my approach is eclectic, collaborative, and person-centered from the very beginning. You can always expect a warm, empathetic, and genuinely supportive environment in our sessions. Using humanistic and integrative methods, I work to ensure you feel deeply heard and empowered to make lasting changes. Your unique presenting concerns shape how we work together, and I adapt my style with that in mind every step of the way. Every person who walks through my door deserves a space that feels safe and welcoming, a place to pause, reflect, and explore your thoughts and emotions as you navigate life's ups and downs. Having personally navigated anxiety and depression, I understand in a real and meaningful way what it takes to find balance, resilience, and healing. This lived experience fuels the depth of care and compassion I bring to every session. My Jamaican background further enriches the care I offer, allowing me to connect with Caribbean patients and others from diverse cultural backgrounds in ways that are sensitive, affirming, and grounded in an understanding of your unique story. Movement and nourishment are big parts of how I stay grounded. Whether I'm at Pilates, the gym, discovering a new restaurant, or planning the next trip on my list, I'm most at home when I'm exploring and savoring what life has to offer.
Today, you are one step closer to creating a life of greater health, healing, and well-being. As a trauma-informed therapist, Reiki Master, mindfulness teacher, and transformational coach, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can safely explore life’s challenges and discover your inner strengths. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences and goals. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. By combining evidence-based therapeutic practices with mindfulness and holistic approaches, I help clients develop practical skills to navigate stress, heal from past experiences, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, burnout, or simply seeking greater balance and purpose, we will work together to identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a path forward that reflects your values and aspirations. If you’re looking for support during a difficult time or you’re ready to move in a new direction, I would be honored to partner with you on your journey. Together, we can build a life that is not only meaningful and fulfilling but one that is truly worth celebrating—as defined by you.

Whether you're burdened by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, identity questions, transitions, or physical pain linked to stress or emotions, therapy can bring relief.

Have you found yourself struggling to understand or manage your emotions? Feeling lost, stressed, overwhelmed, or empty, and don’t know where to begin? Improving your mental well-being can be an intimidating process, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you are having trouble managing your urges, thoughts, or behaviors, experiencing grief, relationship or identity issues, or just feeling like you've lost a sense of peace and purpose somewhere along the way, my personalized, integrative, and trauma-informed approach to psychotherapy can help.
I am all too familiar with how so many struggles boil down to the same deep needs: to be seen, supported, understood, or safe. I help people reclaim their energy from the runaway train of their thoughts and the demands of those they care about so they can live with more focus, calm, and control. That means learning to let go of "doing it right" in favor of doing what actually works for you. By separating your sense of worth from how much you give to others, you end your people-pleasing behaviors and work on setting healthy boundaries that protect your energy without the crushing weight of guilt that usually follows. I believe there’s no one right path or set agenda we’re supposed to follow. Sometimes, the best steps we take are the ones that don’t make sense to anyone else, but that feel undeniably true to us. That’s what I help my clients find: a way forward that’s grounded, self-directed, and shaped by who they are, not who they were told to be.
I'm a clinical psychologist (PhD 1994, U Michigan) with 30 years experience meeting with adolescents, adults from 18-90, and couples. My doctoral research focused on loss and the impact of parental divorce. During my 25 years here I've met with many Cornell students, undergrads and grads. I make use of various approaches (psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral), depending on what makes most sense. Family difficulties, romantic relationships, stress of all sorts, procrastination, and being 'stuck' completing academic work are common situations for which I've provided help.
I've worked with a number of college clients who have struggled with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, adjusting, perfectionism, relationship issues, and stress. I offer psychological testing and therapy. I currently practice as a Pre-Doctoral Intern under the supervision of Dr. Meghan Fox and associated clinical faculty. I'm committed to providing a trusting, supportive and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their inner world and make lasting change. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable sharing anything with me. That’s not by accident. I’ve spent decades building the trust, insight, and experience that helps clients uncover blind spots, reframe challenges, and create meaningful growth. I primarily draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients. I also integrate mindfulness and somatic practices. I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology from California Southern University. I earned a Master of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Binghamton University. My background includes being a Fortune 500 Chief Human Resources Officer, CEO and Master Trainer for retired Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine’s Unbeatable Mind and SEALFIT companies, a consultant specializing in culture and organizational development, and an Executive Coach. I am certified in Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, and Ericksonian Hypnosis. I've traveled extensively and worked with people in 36 countries.
As a school and clinical psychologist, my practice always focuses on the student first. My goal is to understand the issues that are impacting my clients, and to help them find a realistic way to make the situation better. Over the past 20 years I have helped students through school changes, academic difficulty, special education accommodations, general anxiety, managing ADHD, social challenges, and general life stressors. If you are looking for support, feel free to contact me and we can discuss how to get started.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, especially women with ADHD. Supporting LGBTQ+ mental health from an intersectional lens is another focus. I also have an interest in working with clients who are exploring immigrant experience, family dynamics, and generational trauma. I previously worked in college counseling (at Wellesley College) and residential life (at Harvard College), so I'm well-attuned to the specific experiences and challenges of college student life!

My work is informed by feminist, queer, disability, and critical race theory. I also integrate narrative therapy, which allows us to reimagine the stories we tell about ourselves and our lives. I am deeply attentive to how identity and marginalization can impact one's experiences and movement through the world. In my work, I strive for a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive, and socially just practice. I meet clients with curiosity, warmth, and nuance to explore their experiences, relationships, and challenges. My goal is to co-create a welcoming and supportive space in which clients can tell/retell their stories, appreciate their strengths, and work towards their goals
A riverbend symbolizes a new direction and the future that is waiting to be discovered. When struggling with emotional distress like anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, or more it can be extremely difficult to see the positives that could appear ahead. Like a riverbend, counseling can be the new direction towards peace and calm, and a step towards a brighter future. I am an LCSW with experience in the field of mental health and addiction. I strongly believe in utilizing a holistic and person-centered approach to help empower individuals to reach the goals that are most important to them.
