ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Manchester, CT

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you are. Many of my clients are insightful, sensitive, and capable, yet struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, or relationship challenges. You may be used to caring for others, masking your needs, or pushing through instead of feeling supported. You’re looking for therapy that feels safe, real, and validating — not judgmental or distant — and you want to better understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.

I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy grounded in attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches. I work collaboratively to help clients understand emotional and relational patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build self-trust and healthier connections. My practice is affirming of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ identities.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I offer a supportive, honest, and affirming space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, identity, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve therapy that feels human, safe, and respectful of who you are.

I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist. I am a psychotherapist, solution-focused, person-centered, and mindful. I use a heart-centered approach and at times may use art and imagination in working with you. I look forward to working together to create a plan in order to reach your goal(s). By asking questions about what they would like to accomplish. Then providing or suggesting several options that are specific to their needs. I may suggest homework, worksheets, journaling, or art. Finally, work together to find the best solution and work on the most important goal first.

I believe that we are always one decision away from living the exact life that we want! I am a first-generation Haitian-American graduate from SUNY Albany & Stony Brook University.

As a board-certified psychiatrist and mental health nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to well-being, safety, and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that great step! I believe everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care.

Most of us haven’t made it through life without a few bruises. Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves along the way, shaped by what we’ve been through and the weight of those experiences.

That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means you adapted. Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.

Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and gently begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, reconnect with who you are beneath old patterns, and move toward a way of living that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentic.
