About Me
Started from the Bottom
Born and raised in the Bronx, NY…heritage rooted in Barbados… a cautionary tale filled with sadness, loneliness, isolation, abuse, and at times, hopelessness (does that sound familiar to you?) But in every tear, a very small voice kept repeating to me ‘this isn’t it’, and though I did not know what that meant at the time, I trusted that this current state could not possibly be permanent for me (And that is even true for YOU!)
NOW…fully an adult though always growing as a person, with a license in New York to practice psychotherapy, certification in teaching yoga, and experience dated back to 2003, I strive to give to others EVERYTHING that I was not given growing up. I diligently believe, and am in love with, the human condition, and am certain that EVERY SINGLE PERSON can be healed. It all depends on where your wellness journey begins, and what you specifically need in your life to heal.
Your Mental (Health) MATTERS!
When people use the phrase ‘Mental Health’, many believe that it only encompasses seeing a therapist, maybe a psychiatrist, and then everything supposedly goes back to normal. Those steps are a small part of it…but true mental health requires not only addressing your thoughts, but also your emotions, your physical health, your environment and more importantly, all of the past experiences that were left in your proverbial ‘closet.’ At The Mental Matters, I provide not only individual, couple, and group therapy, psychological externalization, yoga classes (group and individual), and meditation…all of which can and will assist in improving your overall health.
