I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker, raised by Caribbean immigrant parents who instilled in me the classic Millennial mantra: “You can achieve anything.” And while that belief fueled my ambition, it also came with a side order of generational challenges—perfectionism, chronic stress, anxiety, and a not-so-charming inability to gracefully handle life transitions. You know, the usual. But here’s the thing: hardship turned out to be my superpower. I became ambitious, self-aware, and checked all the right boxes, yet I couldn’t escape the cycle of mental and emotional roadblocks that left me feeling stuck, wondering how to truly move forward. This insight shaped not only my path but the way I guide others on theirs. Through my clinical work, I help high achieving millennials identify their patterns to move out of survival mode and into their surplus by bridging the gap between knowing and feeling —because being stuck isn’t who you are, and settling isn’t your story.

My career has taken me from crisis response in refugee communities, to adolescent inpatient care; from the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone to supporting my clients and patients around the world. This journey has given me a deep understanding of resilience, cultural humility, and the many ways trauma can shape — but not define — our lives. In therapy, I create a safe, collaborative space grounded in trauma-informed care and cultural humility, where your story is honored and your strengths take center stage. I draw on practical tools, somatic strategies, and emotional attunement to support healing from anxiety, intrusive thoughts, relational challenges, and the impact of traumatic experiences.

At every stage of life we will go through a transition as we journey through our life experiences. Some of our encounters will be beneficent. But many of us will experience moments of unhappiness because of unforeseen circumstances such as divorce, loss of employment, sickness or the inevitable death or loss of a loved one. There are countless experiences one may come up against throughout life. My mission is to work with you in making the changes to transition into the next phase of your life regardless of your past circumstances. Journey of Transitions is a private mental health counseling practice offering therapeutic services for a variety of mental health needs. In addition to the services listed we also offer mobile home based therapeutic services, supported employment, dual diagnosis and addictions treatment.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the courageous first step of seeking out a therapist. It is an act of bravery and courage to explore what is impacting you or your child.

Board Certified Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker ( LCSW, LICSW, LCSW-C, CCTP, C-DBT). I am Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT). I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) who provides client - centered psychotherapy. I am licensed in Maryland , Washington DC and North Carolina, and have 20+ years extensive experience serving in various behavioral and mental health settings. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgement- free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). Each client will be met where she/he is, with acceptance and empathy. Life happens and we encounter challenges at one point or another. Negative thoughts and beliefs often control how we think, feel and relate. Over time, our negative emotions and pervasive thought patterns may become overwhelming and repressed. We will reflect upon any challenges you may have; including past and present. And as a team, we will get to a root cause, identify your trigger(s) and work collaboratively to develop insight, awareness, coping skills and tools to build your resilience, so you can arrive at answers within yourself. In essence, I'll support and empower you through your journey.

A mental health therapist is a compassionate professional dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. With specialized training in evidence-based practices, the therapist provides a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies to foster growth and healing. By combining professional expertise with empathy, the therapist helps clients build resilience and discover their own strengths. ⸻ Prospective Clients Prospective clients may include individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, or significant life transitions. Others may simply seek personal growth, stress management, or improved self-understanding. Clients come from diverse backgrounds and present unique needs, but all share a common desire for guidance, healing, and support. Whether someone is seeking short-term solutions or long-term care, the therapist tailors treatment to meet each client’s goals. ⸻ Impact on Clients’ Lives The impact of therapy can be profound. Clients often report improved emotional well-being, healthier coping strategies, stronger relationships, and greater confidence in their ability to handle stress. Therapy can help individuals break free from cycles of self-doubt, manage overwhelming emotions, and build more fulfilling lives. Over time, the therapeutic relationship itself can serve as a model for healthy communication, trust, and personal growth—empowering clients to carry these skills into all areas of their lives.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Maryland rather than a city like Baltimore?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Maryland from Hagerstown to Ocean City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Maryland.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
