I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Grief Educator. I am a Jamaican American, a mother, and a wife. I have dedicated my career to helping adults navigate life's challenges through compassionate and tailored video teletherapy services. I specialize in a range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, coping with grief and loss, self-worth issues, tobacco dependence, living through the phases of chronic medical conditions, and end-of-life psychosocial challenges.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The client decides if I am a good fit in the first session. I clarify any questions that they may have, listen to their story, and ask questions along the way to ensure that I have an accurate picture of what they are seeking. Then, we both decide if this is the investment that they are seeking.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients have expressed that I have a gentle approach but hold them accountable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are females who may be dealing with betrayal, starting over in life, carrying deep, hidden emotional pain that may have become too unbearable to manage despite great efforts and expense to avoid it. They are motivated to try something new as nothing has worked up to this point. They might have dependents, a household to lead, or a family to manage. They might be carrying burdens inherited from their parents and unhelpful coping styles. They may be functional in their daytime roles but feel they barely manage life.

My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

Whole-person care for persons of faith involves soul, mind, and body care. We use the Word of God and Jesus' life, as well as other characters from the Bible to whom we can relate, to help us develop core life values and uncover the pain and trauma that we may have been hiding or avoiding. No emotion, disorder, or burden is beyond exploration through the Word.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I offer both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for non-faith clients and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Christian clients. We used this evidence-based approach to investigate what is driving the choices we make, heal from the past, build better relationships, and get to know the body and mind that we inhabit. We practice opening up to painful emotions instead of avoiding them. We learn to turn off the autonomic nervous system and practice living in the present moment.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

We use Interpersonal Family Systems (IFS) to help develop a relationship between you and your multiple parts (emotions, beliefs, feelings that make up different aspects of your personality) so that you can understand them better and make choices consciously rather than reactively.

After years of therapy bringing baby steps forward with Princess I feel like I am making big strides. She validates my trauma and then helps me see ways to address individual parts of that trauma. I can now look back on those pieces without feeling panic, shame, or confusion. As a Christian woman she respects and embraces that my faith needs to be part of the healing process. My husband and children talk about how peaceful I am. It's HARD but I'm grateful beyond measure.

After my first session, I can honestly say there are things that she hit on the head with just listening to me, and understanding me. I’m excited to see my growth.
