Vibrant Women Wellness Counseling, LCSW, PLLC

As a clinician, I welcome conversations on racial, spiritual and gender identity through support, affirmation and collective efforts towards building individual self-esteem and self-love. Managing through the work world and taking on adult responsibilities, I further welcome the opportunity for career counseling and support for young adults/new professionals /working moms/single parents/ recent retirees in their desire to seek new responsibilities, new opportunities and establishing a new professional identity through client- centered problem solving and goal-setting.

Using techniques of strengths based dialogue, empowerment client-centered work, mindfulness, CBT and psychoanalysis infused with racial healing, gender identity/sexuality, alongside spiritual support and positive affirmation, I seek to provide my clients the opportunity to speak freely all while living and working through circumstances of oppressive living/work/school environments and building the tools to manage micro

As a mental health counselor in training, I pride myself in using many theories and techniques to help those struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Some of the theories are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-centered Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. These theories believe in centering counseling around the person and using various techniques to improve their thought process, in doing so, bettering clients' lives.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and I am currently completing a graduate program in Mental health counseling. I am also fluent in English and Haitian Creole; sessions can be conducted in either language. I look forward to our working relationship.

The process of finding a therapist can be difficult. It is critical that the relationship is a good match. An ideal client would be one that has not had great experiences in therapy, mostly due to cultural or religious differences. The needs and issues may vary. If healing and optimal wellness is the goal, we are on the same page. During the therapeutic process, we would talk through the concerns and build functional coping skills for optimal health and wellness.
