Great to meet you!

Hello, and welcome. I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. As a Haitian-American clinician, I value cultural humility and understand the ways culture, family, and life experiences can shape our mental health and relationships. I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. My approach is strengths-based and person-centered, focusing on helping clients build on their existing abilities while developing new tools to manage life’s challenges. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients gain insight, improve emotional wellness, and move toward their goals with confidence.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to get acquainted and start building a comfortable therapeutic relationship. We’ll discuss your background, what has brought you to therapy at this point in your life, and what you hope to gain from the process. My goal is to understand your unique experiences and collaborate with you on meaningful goals for treatment.
