Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Lowell, MA

With over ten years of experience, I believe that therapy works best when you feel seen, heard, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is person-centered, which means I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. I also believe that healing doesn't have to be serious all the time, so when it feels right, I welcome humor as part of the process.

I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and major life transitions. I also enjoy supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, college students, and working professionals as they navigate the unique experiences and stressors in their lives.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe that mental well-being is foundational to living a fulfilling and connected life. Taking the step to begin therapy can be challenging, and I commend you for making that choice. Over the course of my career in college and community mental health, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate substance use, addiction, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with motivation. My goal is to create a compassionate, judgment-free environment where growth and healing can take root.

Welcome. My goal is to provide support, guidance, and encouragement in helping you to recognize what you already know about yourself...you willingness to try. In this world, with so many changes and stressors, it can be a good starting point.

My focus is in anxiety, life transitions, grief, and depression.

With over 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for psychiatry began early in my nursing career as I witnessed patients transform their lives through healing, self-discovery, and resilience. It is profoundly humbling meeting someone at their lowest point and having the privilege of walking alongside them as they do the work to become their best selves.

I work with adults ages 18 to 60 from all walks of life, with a special focus on individuals who are often overlooked, misunderstood, or silently struggling. Many of the people I work with appear “put together” on the outside—successful, dependable, and strong—while internally feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or barely holding it together.

I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, to immigrant parents from Haiti, and my cultural background plays an important role in who I am as a provider. Being deeply connected to both Haitian and American cultures has given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for cultural identity, family systems, and the shared human experience. At the core, struggle looks very similar across cultures—and everyone deserves care that is respectful, culturally responsive, and compassionate.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner treating clients since 2016 and prior to that, providing family practice care in a rural University clinic.
