I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life's challenges with confidence and support. With years of experience in behavioral health, child welfare, crisis intervention, and family services, I understand that seeking help can be a difficult first step, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful goals that support your overall well-being.

I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Care. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, improve emotional wellness, and create lasting positive change.

Whether you are facing a current challenge or seeking support for personal growth, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

There is something different about talking to someone who actually understands your world. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with identity and how they see themselves, and I offer sessions in both English and Haitian Creole. I bring particular care to clients from Haitian and Caribbean backgrounds and to women navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, loss, and everything in between. With more than 15 years of experience, I have seen what becomes possible when people feel genuinely seen and free to show up exactly as they are.

I earned an MSW from Tulane School of Social Work in 1989 and am a clinical social worker. I also practice Psychodrama and am a graduate of the Hudson Valley Psychodrama Institute in NY. I work primarily with musicians, actors & writers. I have a long history of working in non-profit agencies and schools, providing top notch care to disadvantaged and oppressed adolescents and families.

Thank you for reaching out to me today! I am here to listen and to help. I am licensed to practice professional counseling in Florida and Missouri with a specialty in addictions and co-occurring disorders. I have been assisting clients since 2011, but in recent years my primary focus is with adults ages 18 and older.

Because trauma and pain often originate in relationships, they can be effectively healed and overcome in relationships. I want to help you to process and resolve the issues that are preventing you from feeling better, accomplishing your goals, and becoming the best version on yourself.
