You're here because you're tired of the challenges that have made life more difficult. I'll help you on this journey. I seek to provide an open space for those who may not have one. When we work together, your vulnerability is genuinely seen as a strength. I work to create an environment where your autonomy is intact, and you are cared for and respected. OCD therapy will be challenging, but it is doable and worthwhile! My professional experience includes working with amazing teens and adults who have lived with PTSD after trauma.

Get to know Toni
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I went into therapy because I had people in my family who were suffering from different mental health diagnoses. Everybody in my family is Jamaican, and it's not that Jamaicans don't seek therapy, but the fact that nobody in my family did felt like a cultural thing. I became a therapist because I wanted to help other people in similar situations get the care they needed.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I'll challenge you, especially in the first couple of sessions, to tell me something I haven't heard before—because I've heard it all. Knowing that usually helps people feel like they can open up.
My approach to ERP therapy
We're going to do things that are hard. We're going to do things that might make you feel uncomfortable and anxious, but we're also still somehow going to have fun. That's something that really helps.
What my Members say helps them feel comfortable with me
I don't sugarcoat anything. I just talk to them as though they're people who I would meet in real life, and who are worthy of having their story be listened to.

Good experienceExcellent with a child.
J.M.
Good experienceWorking with Toni has dramatically improved my emotional state and overall life satisfaction. Her diagnosis still provides answers to questions I’d been asking for my entire life, and she facilitates the work of therapy with kindness, understanding, wisdom, and positive energy. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the near future!

W.P.
Good experienceMy therapist was fantastic. She made me feel very heard and was willing to discuss anything I wanted and also was aware when I wanted not to discus something
J.M.
Good experienceToni’s attitude towards therapy is so inspiring and not a session goes by where we don’t end up having a laugh! Three months ago I started this telling myself it was a last resort because if this didn’t work then my fears about POCD would be real. I can definitively say the person I am today and the person I was three months ago are drastically different. I feel incredibly comfortable and in great hands during sessions. Toni always has a creative way of coming up with fun new exposures to torture me with and I’m always up for the challenge 😆! Jokes aside, I cannot recommend her enough she is an absolute star! Thanks Toni
