About D’Jalentta

Iroh once said, “In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.”

This is what I center my counseling work in. To me, hope, the genuine belief that you can grow and learn, is the foundation everything else is built on. Because without it, there’s no such thing as possibility. This belief supports the clients I enjoy working with the most: individuals who have a past trauma, are undergoing a significant life transition, or are navigating their identity and place in the world as a BIPOC.

Even though hope is at the forefront of my work, I also believe therapy is just that- work. We work together to help you in your healing journey.

I am here to walk with you, to collaborate, and yes, sometimes to gently challenge you. My own journey taught me that the pivot point often comes when you realize just how capable you are. In therapy, I believe it is important to help people reframe their stories and find their voice, so we can see that capability in themselves.

How we do this matters. I bring my whole self to this work, including my heritage from the West Indies and an intersectional perspective that honors all parts of your identity. It means our space is built on kindness, cultural understanding, and respect. My goal is for you to leave our time together with practical tools, a kinder way of talking to yourself, solid boundaries, and a powerful sense that you are in charge of your life.

When I’m not wearing my therapist hat, I’m probably hanging out with my two cats, planning a trip, trying a new restaurant, playing my ukulele, or rewatching my favorite shows (ATLA, Gilmore Girls, or She-Ra) for the (5?) hundredth time.
