Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY
Supervised by Lacie Hamilton, LMHC

About My Clients

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, work, and relationship issues, especially those from marginalized communities. These clients often struggle with isolation and the impacts of systemic inequality. They seek a safe space for expression, coping strategies, and validation. My ideal clients aim to reclaim their narratives, build healthier relationships, and foster a sense of belonging, moving toward a life where they can thrive personally and within their communities.

My Background and Approach

I became a therapist because I understand the complexities of mental health and the importance of healing. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can express yourself and explore your challenges freely. Our work together will focus on understanding the unique aspects of your journey, identifying strengths, and developing tools that align with your values and goals. I believe in a collaborative process, where your insights are valued, and your voice is always heard. As we uncover patterns and explore new perspectives, I hope you’ll feel empowered to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence. My goal is to help you build a more balanced, fulfilling, and joyful life, supporting you each step of the way.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I believe deeply in the power of empathy, authenticity, and genuine connection. I value inclusivity and work to create a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone, understanding that each person’s unique experiences and identities shape their journey. I’m passionate about mental health advocacy, especially for marginalized communities, and aware of the systemic barriers that often limit access to care. I actively promote mental health awareness and strive to destigmatize therapy through community outreach and education. My goal is to empower you to embrace your true self while navigating life’s challenges. Together, we’ll foster resilience and growth in an environment that honors your story and supports your journey.
