Feelings are messengers, guiding us toward a fuller, more vibrant life. They show us what matters, bring depth to our experiences, and spark growth. Yet unresolved trauma and a dysregulated nervous system can create barriers, making it difficult to process emotions, trust inner wisdom, or connect authentically.

Worries, fears and stress can be very disruptive to our lives. Developing an understanding of why we feel so vulnerable and developing better coping strategies can be the product of psychotherapy. It takes courage to confront our stressors. With the proper guidance we can master these challenges and have a more enriching life. One mode of treatment is psychodynamic psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy fosters a deep meditative state allowing client to access inner resources to facilitate change. I am also a trained Couples Therapist with clients at various stages of adjustment or imbalance.

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with holding everything together — for your newborn, your family, your faith — while quietly wondering if anyone sees you. Maybe you're navigating postpartum fog, carrying anxiety that won't quiet, or sitting with a sadness you can't quite name. If you're a Black woman, Haitian, Caribbean, or simply someone who needs a therapist who gets it — culturally, spiritually, and practically — you've found the right place. I offer therapy in English and Haitian Creole, and I believe your healing deserves someone who understands where you come from.

Waitlist for new clients
Full/waitlist-only for weekly therapy. IADC and EMDR intensives still accepted.
You're tired, emotionally and physically. I support new mothers who are up at 3 a.m. wondering why they feel so sad when they thought this was supposed to be the happiest time of their life. I work with people who are grieving and are so tired of being told to “move on” when all they really want is to still feel connected to the person they lost (and yes, we can find ways to do that together). I work with young adults who have lost a parent and feel like no one else understands, and the thought of a college commencement is depressing, not exciting.

The narratives we hold about ourselves shape how we move through the world. Having a space to work together to reshape and process your story into one that feels true and empowering can have a profound impact.

While my experience as an Asian American adoptee offers valuable insight into identity, belonging, and connection, my practice is inclusive, welcoming clients from all walks of life.

If you're feeling disconnected or struggling with relationships or daily life, know you're not alone. Many of the people I work with have experienced childhood trauma, neglect, emotional abuse, or moments of feeling detached, distant, or “checked out” from themselves or the world. Healing doesn’t have to be faced alone—it’s okay to show up just as you are, with all the complexities that come with it. Together, we’ll explore what feels overwhelming, slowly and expansively, allowing space for healing at your own pace.

My clients are often intellectually curious, creatively driven individuals who have struggled to find spaces where they feel genuinely understood. Many are drawn to exploring deeper questions around identity, meaning, relationships, and the human experience. I frequently work with those who identify as the “black sheep” within high-achieving or complex family systems, as well as artists, performers, clinicians, and high-visibility professionals.
You may be navigating trauma, anxiety, distrust, dissociation, identity exploration, unusual perceptual experiences, or the complicated intersection of visibility, success and isolation.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
