Dear Georgia Residents...
Meet Your New Favorite Therapist!

Here are some brief points about me as a therapist and the clientele I work with:

• I was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and understand the pressure of assimilating into American culture. — I work well with minority clients; especially those who are children of immigrants.

• I am a first-generation college graduate and have a combined 8 years of higher education experience. — I specialize in working with college students who are navigating the stressors of adulthood and the collegiate atmosphere.

• I have navigated caregiving for my mother who was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and had it enter remission in 2020. — I work with clients who are undergoing burnout, and compassion fatigue, and who may have a loved one who is battling with a terminal illness.

My Approach

Collaborative, Emotion-focused, Holistic, Mindfulness-based, Gestalt, Existential, Solution-focused.

In a nutshell, I work primarily with adults (18+) of all ethnic backgrounds and sexualities who are navigating the following concerns: life transitions, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, grief, career changes, relationship/friendship trauma, women’s issues, men’s issues, childhood abandonment and neglect, self-esteem/self-confidence, and related issues.

Her focus is on anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships with special attention in the areas of postpartum, maternal health and multicultural issues.
