My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

I have worked in the field of mental health for almost 30 years. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of MS and I hold multiple certifications within my area of practice, including tobacco education and cessation treatment, youth mental health first aid training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, advanced cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy specifically designed for foster care youth, and certified integrated mental health professional. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Guidance and Counseling from Jackson State University. I have worked in the areas of community mental health, vocational rehab, hospital settings, foster care counseling, and the private counseling sector. I have also participated in several research studies pertaining to tobacco cessation and education. I am a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. as well as a veteran of the United States Army.


My motto is rooted in Philippians 3:13-14, "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those which are before, I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Welcome to my profile! First, I want to acknowledge that it can be daunting to start the process of therapy and even more to choose a therapist - so thanks for checking out my profile, and good luck on your journey, wherever it takes you!

A little about me: I bring a LOT of different perspectives to my work:

1) Educationally, I combine a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience (Boston College, 2010) and a Respecialization degree (essentially like another Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology (Suffolk University, 2015)

2) Clinically, I have worked with all sorts of people, ranging from young to older adults, with simple adjustment issues all the way to complex neurological/psychiatric problems. That said, I specialize in the following issues: depression and anxiety disorders; OCD; bipolar disorder; women's issues, including domestic violence, perinatal, postpartum, and parenting problems; cultural stress and issues related to immigration; rehabilitation psychology (adjustment to severe, chronic medical conditions).

3) Culturally, I am a French native, with over 20 years living in the U.S., 10 of which were in New England and the past 10 years in MS, so I bring greater than usual open-mindedness to all sorts of perspectives!
