ABOUT

Healing isn't just surviving adversity—it's also growing through it.

As the founder of Divine Resilience Psychotherapy in Connecticut and Pieces of Wisdom Psychotherapy in New York, I've built my life's work on one shared mission: to bridge the gap in mental health care for people who've felt invisible in traditional therapy spaces—especially Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, and immigrant communities.

 

Across both practices, my teams and I provide high-quality, culturally responsive therapy, life coaching, and clinical supervision that centers real-world understanding so every person feels seen, supported, and empowered.

Core Values

My Story & Approach

My passion for this work is deeply personal. My first therapist was kind, but she didn’t understand what it meant to be a woman of color navigating the world. I left those sessions feeling invisible, and that experience motivated me to offer something different: a space where people who look like me feel understood, accepted, and empowered to thrive.


With over 18 years of experience, my approach is rooted in empathy, cultural understanding, and the belief that you are the expert of your own life. I lead with a heart for healing, blending clinical skill with lived experience to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can address your social, emotional, and behavioral needs. My goal is to help you build resilience and foster meaningful, lasting change. I’m honored to walk alongside you.
