Clinical Psychologist

Verified

“I am a Clinical Psychologist and trained EMDR Practitioner who works with individuals, couples, families, & organisations. I work online as well as in-person at offices located in Woodbrook and Chaguanas. My clients share that I am warm, compassionate, and committed to supporting their healing. I look forward to hearing from you.”

About Me

I aim to create a warm, compassionate space where you feel truly supported. As a Clinical Psychologist, I work with individuals, couples, families, and organisations. I recognise that your path to healing is always personal. I am also a Certified EMDR Practitioner, offering a focused approach to help process difficult experiences. My commitment is to guide you towards lasting well-being, whatever challenges you face, with genuine care.

Approach

Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling truly heard, and I build on that to create a practical, steady process that meets you where you are. We set clear goals each session, balance reflection with skill-building, and look at what actually works in your day-to-day life. When helpful, I may suggest brief reflections or exercises between sessions, and I adjust the pace depending on whether I’m working with adolescents, couples, or individuals, so progress feels manageable and consistent. If you’re looking for a collaborative and steady kind of support, this approach may suit you well.
