Psychotherapist

After George Floyd’s murder, I sent an email calling out my social work program and administration, demanding they practice what they were teaching us students. That moment – watching the impact of one email, seeing my program actually respond – that’s when I fell in love with social work. Not the theoretical version we learn in classrooms, but the real advocacy that creates actual change. After undergrad, law school was the plan. My only knowledge of social work was that they remove children from parents – something I definitely didn’t want to do. Then I started working with individuals with developmental disabilities and loved advocating for my caseload. A Google search for “advocacy professions” opened my eyes to what social work actually was. Born in Haiti, I came to the United States when I was seven. That journey shaped everything about how I see resilience, adaptation, and the strength it takes to build a life in a new world. Before focusing on therapy, I worked in an inpatient psychiatric facility, a residential house with dual-diagnosis residents, and case management. Each role taught me something different about human struggle and recovery. “We’re all one trigger away from having the roles reversed.” I truly believe that. One major life change and I could be sitting where you are, needing support. That understanding keeps me from ever thinking I’m above the people I work with. We’re all just humans navigating life with whatever tools we have. Clients say therapy with me is like seeing a best friend weekly because I’m the person who knows everything about you and who you feel safe talking to. I’m your biggest cheerleader but I’m always going to tell you the truth. We go at your pace because therapy is for you, not for me to feel productive. I work with adults 22 and older dealing with trauma, grief, family and parenting issues, immigration experiences, race and gender-related trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, relationship breakdowns.
