Registered Psychotherapist

About me

I hold degrees in Clinical Psychology, Education and Theology. I bring warmth, curiosity, and respect to my work, and I aim to create a space where clients can feel safe, heard, and supported as they explore what feels difficult, confusing, or painful.

For more than 20 years, I have supported children, youth, adults, couples, families, and groups through psychotherapy, pastoral care, teaching, supervision, and assessment in clinical, community, and educational settings. These experiences have shaped my approach to helping people understand themselves and move toward meaningful change.

My Style and Areas of Support

My style is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in evidence-informed care. I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, goals, and pace. I pay close attention to emotional safety, consent, boundaries, and ethical care, as foundations to a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship.

In our work together, we may explore the patterns, experiences, relationships, and beliefs that shape how you cope, connect, and make sense of yourself. My hope is to support you without judgment or pressure, helping you build insight, challenge you to look deeper, strengthen resilience, and take steps that feel realistic and meaningful.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside the therapy room, I stay grounded through music, movies, travel, and time with family and friends. I am married and a mother of three, and my interest in relationships led me to write It Takes Two Good Eggs to Make an Omelette. I have also served as an ordained minister in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, and currently do so in Canada. In 2014, I received Jamaica’s Governor General’s Achievement Award for my work supporting the well-being of children and youth in the community. This affirms my commitment to providing care to those who exist at the margins of our society.
