We travel the road with you, hope for the hopeful and hopeless! We pair authentic listening with the power of hope.

I was born on the beautiful tropical island of Jamaica, where I completed my undergraduatedegree. I completed my graduate studies and residency in Virginia.

I have provided mental health services in both my native country and the United States for over twenty-two (22) years. These experiences have broadened my sensitivity to issues that are culturally influenced and others that transcend cultural/ethnic barriers.

I combine my personality, international counseling experience and passion to see lives change as I engage my profession.

I am tri-lingual (Spanish, English and Patois, which is my Jamaican dialect). The ability to communicate in three languages has proven to be an asset as I “reach out” to the various populations I encounter.

I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. I am a registered supervisor with the Virginia Board of Counseling. I provide clinical supervision for residents in their pursuits to become licensed professional counselors and interns for completion of their graduate degrees.

I am also certified in Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) which is an intervention geared at adolescents with a primary diagnosis of substance abuse.

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) for several years in my interventions with clients, as I believe that our thoughts impact our emotions, which drive our actions.
