Great to meet you!

Sometimes life can feel heavy, making it difficult to fully feel like yourself. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling disconnected, questioning your self-worth, or struggling to balance different parts of your identity. I also work with young adults navigating life transitions such as college, career changes, relationships, independence, and the uncertainty that can come with figuring out who you are and where you’re headed. As a first-generation Haitian American, I understand how culture, family expectations, and lived experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and move through the world.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring your experiences openly and honestly. Together, we work on shifting unhelpful thought patterns, building confidence, managing stress and anxiety, and developing healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges while staying connected to your values and sense of identity.

What you can expect from me

Many of the clients I work with begin to feel more grounded, more self-aware, and more confident in themselves as they move through therapy. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting. My goal is to help you feel supported as you navigate life’s challenges, strengthen your sense of self, and move forward with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust.
