My experience as an Afro-West Indian American woman — having lived in Boston and Brooklyn — provides me with a unique sense of cultural awareness to support community members

I swam terribly at the YMCA in Park Slope, was not so great at golf in Canarsie, played Mass in Eastern Parkway, planned treasure hunts in Downtown Boston, judged debate in UMass and loved fencing in the Fashion District and Roxbury. Even now I’m getting my masters and I the still feel out place in the classroom.

Surfing through all these different outlets continuously left me feeling ostracized. Whether I was with my family or generally around people, I repeatedly felt like I was doing some odd shit, or acting outside the realm of what was regular.

All the time.

I’m still coping with that. No matter how great of a support system I’ve had, I’ve learned understanding yourself — through the hard work of self care and inner patience — is a never-ending task.

Part of caring for myself involves supporting you while you learn how to care for yourself too. We all have some loose screws, and if you spend enough time with me, you'll watch me talk to myself out loud just to organize and process my own thought and ideas.

Through our sessions and future events we’ll have breakthroughs and breakdowns, but I promise we will laugh; a lot. So feel free to give me your information; let’s book a consultation and see if a session together is a good fit for you.

I hope you find it heartfelt that it took me over a year to write this.
