nurturing you in your journey to healing and self-discovery.

As a Black woman, I try to create safe enough spaces for you.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, specializing in guiding individuals through life's complexities. As a Black West Indian woman, my unique perspective is enriched by intersectional feminism, queer theory, and my own immigrant experience.

I offer a diverse range of psychological services aimed at supporting your needs and fostering healing and self-discovery. Whether you're a child, adolescent, or adult, my services are designed to empower you on your journey toward liberation and radical healing.

In my practice, clients often discover surprising aspects of themselves, even amidst the challenges. It's within this space that they can fully embrace and process their experiences as a whole. Whether you're starting a new path or encountering fresh emotions, it is in this safe-enough space that your progress truly unfolds.

Explore the services I provide below and take the first step towards transformation by reaching out to me today. Together, we'll embark on a transformative process of growth and self-discovery.

    I also provide an economic justice sliding scale for individuals who cannot afford the full fee. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Optum Health insurances (Harvard Pilgrim, Allways, United Behavioral Health).

  • I am a radical psychanalytically, informed therapist.

    What this means is that though I integrate analytic theory and technique into my work, it is through an intersectional feminist/queer theory lens that tries to be liberated from structures of white supremacy and colonialism.

    I incorporate mindfulness-based techniques as needed, self-compassion work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Interventions as part of evidence-based treatment for example with Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, and Social Phobia for symptom alleviation.

    However, I favor and lean toward exploratory work that will assist you in living a life that is in accordance with your values and one that is more free from the shackles of past pains and trauma.

    I consult intermittently with psychiatric and medical providers, schools, and members of spiritual communities as part of my health-focused and holistic practice.
