I am a culturally sensitive narrative therapist with extensive experience supporting postpartum and perinatal women, blended families, teens with anxiety and self-esteem issues, and veterans. My approach is collaborative and inclusive, creating a safe space for clients to explore their stories, uncover strengths, and work towards healing and growth tailored to their unique backgrounds and needs. Join me today in creating the life story you have always desired.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they are encouraged to share their stories, experiences, and goals at their own pace. I begin by actively listening, asking open-ended questions, and gaining a deeper understanding of their unique perspectives and concerns. We may explore important aspects of their lives, such as family dynamics, cultural backgrounds, and past experiences, to uncover patterns and themes that shape their narratives. Through this collaborative process, clients can expect to gain insights, identify strengths, and begin to envision new possibilities for growth and healing. Together, we work towards building a trusting therapeutic relationship and creating a roadmap for their journey towards positive change and well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a narrative therapist with significant lived experience and a collaborative stance, coupled with a diverse cultural background, I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create deeply empathetic and inclusive therapeutic spaces. Drawing from my lived experiences and cultural understanding, I bring a rich tapestry of perspectives into my practice, allowing me to connect authentically with clients from diverse backgrounds. My collaborative approach fosters a sense of partnership and empowerment, where clients feel heard, valued, and actively engaged in co-creating meaningful narratives that honor their identities and strengths. This combination of cultural sensitivity, lived experience, and collaborative stance enables me to support clients in navigating complex life challenges, promoting resilience, and facilitating transformative growth.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy
As a Caribbean therapist from a diverse background, my experience with Culturally Sensitive Therapy involves creating a safe and inclusive environment where I deeply respect and integrate my clients' cultural values, beliefs, and experiences into the therapeutic process. I establish strong rapport by actively listening without judgment, incorporate culturally relevant interventions such as storytelling or art therapy techniques, stay informed through cultural competence training, and collaborate with diverse colleagues to ensure effective and culturally appropriate care for my clients.
Narrative
In my practice, Narrative Therapy has been a transformative approach, allowing me to help clients navigate their life stories in a way that empowers them. By listening actively and nonjudgmentally, I assist clients in externalizing their problems, separating them from their identities. Together, we collaboratively construct alternative narratives that honor their cultural backgrounds and values, fostering resilience and a deeper understanding of their experiences. This method not only encourages self-expression but also promotes a sense of agency and control over one's narrative, leading to meaningful and lasting change in clients' lives.
Family Therapy
In my practice, Family Therapy has been an invaluable tool for addressing complex relational dynamics and promoting holistic healing within family systems. I approach Family Therapy with a systemic perspective, recognizing that each family member plays a unique role in the family's functioning and well-being. Through collaborative conversations and interventions, I help families identify patterns of interaction, explore underlying beliefs and values, and develop healthier communication strategies and problem-solving skills. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, I facilitate meaningful dialogue and empower families to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create positive changes that promote resilience and growth.
