I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and first-generation Haitian immigrant. Proud owner of Clervil Center for Wellness. I work with adults ages 18 and older who are ready to invest in themselves and engage in the therapeutic process. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel ready for change and are looking for a space where you can be heard, supported, and challenged to grow. My specialty is helping individuals navigate grief, loss, and major life transitions. Grief can show up in many forms, not only after the death of a loved one, but also following divorce, relationship changes, retirement, health concerns, career shifts, or changes in identity. Together, we can make sense of what has been lost while creating space for what comes next. I also have extensive experience working with trauma, including trauma related to sexual violence, gun violence, childhood experiences, and other life-altering events. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and centered on helping you regain a sense of safety, empowerment, and control in your life. As a Haitian immigrant, I understand firsthand the challenges that can come with adjustment, cultural expectations, identity, and starting over in unfamiliar circumstances. These experiences have shaped my belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen and supported. My goal as a therapist is simple: to help you build the life you want for yourself. Whether you’re working through grief, healing from trauma, adjusting to change, or searching for greater meaning and fulfillment, we’ll work together to create a path forward that aligns with your values and goals.

I also enjoy working with older adults who are navigating questions related to meaning, purpose, aging, regret, loneliness, and identity later in life.

First session

You can expect to have an open and honest conversation about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll work together to explore your challenges, goals, and concerns, and I’ll help you feel comfortable by creating a safe, non-judgmental space. By the end of the session, we’ll begin to identify the steps needed to start moving forward and develop a plan that aligns with your needs.

Strengths

Every client is different, which means therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I work collaboratively with you to create an approach that fits your emotional needs, personality, cultural background, life experiences, and goals. In addition, I proudly provide LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex-worker affirming care and strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where all individuals feel respected and valued.

Ideal clients

I work with Young Adults, Adults and older Adults who are eager to improve their lives but feel stuck or uncertain about how to move forward. Many of my clients struggle with feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or lost in areas such as career, relationships, or life direction especially after a big change such as a death of a loved one or divorce. I also enjoy supporting older adults who are seeking to rediscover a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Together, we will explore your emotions, past and present, develop healthier coping strategies, and find ways to align daily actions with personal values.

Treatment methods

Mind-body approach

I integrate the mind-body approach by helping clients explore the connection between their physical sensations and emotional well-being to promote healing and self-awareness. Through techniques like guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathwork, I support clients in managing stress and processing trauma effectively. This approach allows clients to reconnect with their bodies as a source of strength and resilience.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I incorporate mindfulness by teaching clients to stay present and grounded through techniques such as meditation, mindful breathing, and grounding exercises. These tools empower clients to regulate their emotions and reduce anxiety by focusing on the here and now. Mindfulness is woven into sessions to encourage self-compassion and improve overall mental clarity.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Using ACT, I guide clients to embrace their thoughts and emotions rather than resist them, fostering psychological flexibility. Together, we identify values and create actionable goals that align with those values, encouraging clients to live a more meaningful life. This approach emphasizes acceptance and commitment as tools for navigating challenges and building resilience.

Grief Therapy

Grief is a deeply personal journey and there is no right or wrong way to experience it. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, a major life change or the loss of a relationship. My goal is to walk alongside you through your grief, helping you to understand it, and carry it in a new way, one that allows you to reconnect with hope, love and life again.
