Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida, with over 28 years of experience, supporting individuals and families. I hold a degree from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) and offer culturally sensitive therapy rooted in my Caribbean background. I specialize in helping clients navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions in a safe, supportive virtual space where healing and growth can happen.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session is all about connection and comfort. We will start by getting to know each other, I’ll ask questions about what brings you to therapy, your current challenges and any goals you have in mind. Most importantly, this first session is a chance for you to feel seen, heard and supported. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you can begin your healing journey with confidence.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to build genuine, trusting relationships with clients by combining deep clinical expertise with compassion and cultural sensitivity. With nearly three decades of experience in individual and family therapy, I bring a calm grounded presence that helps clients feel safe as they work tough trauma, develop coping strategies, and rediscover their resilience.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love helping teens and young adults navigate anxiety, grief, relationship challenges and life transitions. Many clients and seeking a therapist who understands the importance of cultural identity and lived experience, especially those from Caribbean or multicultural backgrounds. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or simply ready for a change, I provide a supportive and affirming space to explore what’s holding you back and move towards healing, clarity and personal growth.
