On my campus, there was not an easy access to counseling/psychotherapy. In my private practice, I focus on counseling and treatment of problems and conditions related to ADHD, anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive behavior as well as coupl...

Welcoming and practical, my approach doesn’t depend on any specific philosophy—I get to know you, your needs and your goals—then tailor the experience t...

One of my happy places is the beach. I am from the beautiful island of Jamaica and some of my most treasured memories and happiest times were spent at the beach.
