Of West Indian descent and having traveled if not lived in most of the United States due to my immigrant father’s employment. Growing up was a constant trend of exploration and encounters of new people and cultures. Thus, the field of psychology was a clear path for me. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology and a Master of Arts in Psychology, both from Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois. I received a Doctor of Clinical Psychology with a Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis and Substance Abuse Counseling from Adler University in Chicago, Illinois. I welcome you here today and commend you for taking that first step in recognizing that you may be weighed down by life circumstances, childhood trauma, self-doubt, and insecurities which are disrupting your ability to concentrate, connect with others, or simply experience day to day joy. Deciding to tackle root causes, learn and unlearn, and become your true self is hard, but know you are not alone. I am here with you. We can embark on a path of healing together so you may become the best version of yourself.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clinical experience encompasses Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem, Behavioral Issues, Stress, Impulse Control, Relationship Issues, and Family conflict to list a few. As a product of a multicultural family, I have found that my rich and diverse background has allowed me to hold a unique perceptiveness, compassion, and ability to hold a nonjudgmental space to all regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or culture.
