(she/her)
I am Licensed Mental Health Therapist for the State of Florida with over 12 years of extensive experience of counseling individuals from all diverse backgrounds. I am originally from Haiti and have found a great passion for my culture and a true appreciation for differences in all people. I have worked as a Psychotherapist in an inpatient Psychiatric setting, Mobile Crisis Response setting, and Outpatient Office and school Based Therapy setting. My philosophy in therapy is Life has many waves and therapy allows the clinician and the individual to find balance in the midst of life's ups and downs. An individual is most likely to achieve positive outcomes in therapy when a trusting, collaborative relationship exists between the therapist and client, accompanied by high-quality therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual's unique needs.
Clients can definitely expect to feel safe and supported while receiving professional clinical support.
MY Passion to help others, Openness, Flexible, Ability to listen Empathetically , and Bilingual ability make improved support and connection with individuals and their families. Each person will team with myself to creatively developing a collaborative approach in treatment that meets their needs.
I see that each individual who comes into this platform to fight life's challenges is brave with that. I am excited to process this journey with them.

Talking to Joan is like reconnecting with an old friend. I can’t wait to connect more and work through the hard stuff together. Thank you for creating a safe space

Joan was amazing. This was only my first session, but she already made me feel comfortable and hopeful that I will be able to get better and that she will help me make the necessary changes I need.
