Welcome! Seeking therapy can be intimidating, but you're making the right decision. Having personally navigated the challenges of mental health stigma, I'm acutely attuned to the diverse cultural backgrounds that shape individuals' experiences. This insight fuels my passion for breaking down barriers and fostering a safe, inclusive environment for everyone. I firmly believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is built upon feeling comfortable and understood, and I am dedicated to being that source of support for my clients. I'm committed to guiding you toward a more meaningful life, harnessing the incredible power of resilience and personal growth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll start with a quick introduction, and then we’ll dive into the challenges you’re facing right now. This will help me understand where you’re coming from and begin creating a plan for how we can move forward in future sessions. I want you to feel heard without judgment, supported, and comfortable as we begin this journey together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing mental health-related symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, depression, low motivation, self-esteem issues, and issues related to life transitions, and careers. I employ a strength-based and empathic approach to help you overcome challenges that are affecting you. My therapeutic approach encompasses various modalities that I've honed over the years. I also bring a unique perspective to therapy due to my Haitian heritage, as I am bilingual and fluent in Haitian Creole. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused therapy, I tailor our sessions to suit your unique needs.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Are you facing a difficult life transition, struggling with depression, anxiety, or feeling unfulfilled in your career? Major changes, whether personal or professional, can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and directionless. When your work no longer aligns with your values, passions, or strengths, it can deepen feelings of hopelessness and stress, making it harder to navigate other aspects of life. I specialize in supporting individuals through these challenging times, helping you manage the complexities of mental health while exploring new paths for growth and fulfillment. Together, we can work through the emotional burdens of this transition, find clarity, and create a life that aligns with your true goals and well-being.
