LMSW-C, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
With over five years of serving children and adults navigating areas such as mood disorders, domestic abuse, substance use and parenting, I’ve learned that healing begins when someone truly listens. My practice is built on that belief. At Freedom Integrative Therapy, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice matters. Whether you're unpacking trauma, seeking balance, or rebuilding from adversity, my integrative approach meets you exactly where you are. My work is shaped by years of walking beside resilient individuals—and every story I’ve heard has deepened my commitment to offer support, clarity, and hope. You don’t have to navigate healing alone. Let’s begin your journey to freedom - together.
Freedom Integrative Therapy utilizes a range of evidence-based techniques and modalities to support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. My approach is rooted in a holistic understanding of each individual, considering their specific needs and circumstances. Interventions may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Family Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Therapeutic direction is established in accordance with the client's objectives, and I will facilitate and guide the process. This approach emphasizes the client's strengths to promote empowerment, sustainable personal growth, and enhanced mental and emotional well-being.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are empathy and compassion—I want you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I take a collaborative approach, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life, while I serve as a supportive guide on your journey toward accepting and embracing your authentic self. I am also practical in my approach, providing tools and strategies to help you navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and thrive as the unique individual you are. Creating a space where everyone feels a sense of belonging is deeply important to me. As a U.S. transplant from England, born to Jamaican parents, I understand firsthand the complexities of cultural identity and the desire to feel seen and valued, and I strive to ensure that every client experiences that understanding in our work together.
I am excited about working with clients who value healing, growth and becoming their authentic selves. They don’t just want to “get rid” of problems—they want to learn new ways of thinking, relating, and living. I want to help people be fearless, fierce and free - empowered to love and accept themselves for who they are. That's why I do therapy and that's why I set up my practice, Freedom Integrative Therapy.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients break free from unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving. Together, we look at how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, and identify ways to shift them so you can feel more in control. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which means you’ll leave sessions with tools you can start using right away—like strategies for managing stress, calming anxious thoughts, or building healthier habits. My goal is to make the process collaborative and supportive, so you feel empowered to make real and lasting changes in your life.
I offer Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) to support young children and their caregivers in healing from difficult experiences, stress, or trauma. CPP focuses on strengthening the parent-child relationship as a safe and nurturing foundation for growth. In our sessions, both child and caregiver participate together, using play, storytelling, and guided conversations to make sense of experiences, manage emotions, and build trust. My role is to help you and your child feel more connected, supported, and resilient—so your relationship can be a powerful source of comfort and security.
I use a culturally focused approach to therapy that honors and respects your unique background, values, and lived experiences. Culture shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we cope with challenges. In our work together, I create a safe, affirming space where your identity, traditions, and story are not only acknowledged but celebrated. By integrating cultural understanding into therapy, we can explore how your strengths, history, and community connections can support your healing and growth. My goal is to help you feel truly seen and understood while working toward the changes and goals that matter most to you.
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support clients who feel stuck or unsure about making changes in their lives. Instead of telling you what to do, MI is a collaborative style of therapy that helps you explore your own motivations, strengths, and goals. Through open conversations and guided reflection, we’ll work together to uncover what matters most to you and how to take steps in that direction. This approach is especially helpful when you’re feeling ambivalent about change—it empowers you to build confidence, clarify your values, and move forward at your own pace.
I use DBT to help you find balance between accepting yourself as you are and making positive changes where you want to grow. Together, we’ll focus on practical skills like staying present, managing emotions, coping with stress, and building healthier relationships. DBT is very hands-on, so you’ll leave with tools you can start using right away to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.
