Great to meet you!

Hello there! I am a Haitian American female, passionate about providing mental health care to marginalized communities. My previous experience includes working with individuals across the life span including children, adolescents, and adults in both educational and outpatient settings. My interests include working with clients from diverse backgrounds, who are facing challenges with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, identity development, family conflict, and parenting issues.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I would describe my therapeutic approach as collaborative and allowing my clients to be the guide of their therapeutic experience.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to create a judgment free space where you can openly express the challenges you are facing. Practicing cultural humility is important to me as you are the author of your story and lived experience.
