Does it ever feel like everything is stacked against you? Even when it feels like darkness surrounds you, all it takes is a tiny flicker of light for things to change. That's where Jax and I come in. Jax is my pup who is here to help while we find the spark of hope you need. I specialize in the neurodivergent, and I am trained in EMDR.

Life can be brutal, can’t it?! Can you remember that time in life when you were happy, like top of the world scream it from the rooftops happy? In that moment, everything was right in your world and then well, life happened. Now you look back and have so many questions…What happened? Let me tell you, you are not alone! We’ve all been there in some season of life. But who says this can’t make us better! Every person comes to therapy with their own individual needs. Therefore, we adapt our interventions based on a comprehensive assessment of who you are and what you need. We are all trained in a number of different interventions and like to use a combination of our training and expertise to utilize an eclectic approach to best meet the needs of each individual person. We know that every individual is uniquely different and therefore each person should have a unique therapy journey based on their own needs.
My goal is to encourage growth through evidence-based treatment. I believe in using each client’s individual strengths to overcome challenges. I strive to create a supportive atmosphere that allows the client to feel empowered. I value working with clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of school, grades, social groups and trying to keep up with everything you're supposed to be doing? Maybe you find yourself comparing yourself to others, wondering if you're falling behind or not doing enough? Maybe you’re overwhelmed by school, work, family expectations, pressures of needing to know your life goals or all of it at once. You might feel stuck and need some support and or just exhausted trying to balance everything. Whether you're navigating college or grad school, exploring relationships, or dealing with family pressures, I’m here to walk alongside you. If you’re in that in-between space, thinking you need to have things figured out, questioning yourself, or just trying to keep up, I get it. Therapy can be a space to unpack and process, where you can slow down and start to explore what matters to you and what are some patterns that may be holding you back. You're not alone if you're asking questions like: "Am I doing enough?" "Why does everyone else seem to have it figured out?" "How do I make time for myself when everything feels urgent?" Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, family dynamics, grief, or the social exhaustion of trying to stay connected while also needing space this season of life is a lot. In our work together, I’ll meet you where you are. I offer a space where you can show up as yourself. I believe in being real with you, validating what’s hard, and gently helping you explore what feels stuck or confusing. We’ll talk about things like identity, relationships, stress, loss, and how to care for yourself even when everything feels like it’s moving fast. Whether you’re feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or just trying to figure out your next steps, my intention is to walk with you and offer a steady, supportive space to explore, grow, and heal. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan with a specialization in Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health and Mental Health and completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Grand Valley State University. I draw from a person-centered approach, believing that my clients are the experts in their own lives. My role is to offer support, perspective, and tools as we work collaboratively toward your goals.
Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to explore our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can help gain insight into ourselves, develop coping strategies, and improve our overall mental well-being. Therapy can assist us in a variety of ways, including managing stress, anxiety, or depression, addressing relationship issues, processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth and self-improvement. It provides us with professional guidance and support tailored to each individual's unique needs, fostering growth, healing, and a greater sense of self-awareness.

I graduated from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary in 2022 with a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and from Kuyper College in 2011 with a double major in Bible & Theology and Youth Ministry. My story is a tale of two worlds. I grew up in the country of Haiti, while my adult years have been spent in West Michigan. Both the contrasts and similarities between the two have influenced the way I view the world. And just as my experiences shaped who I am today, the same is true for you. We are all journeying through life, and it is a privilege for me to be welcomed into your story. Of all the people I have met in all the locations I have traveled to, I have found the following to be true: though each story is unique, everyone faces challenges, and everyone has the need to be heard, to be valued, and to be loved. Outside of working as a counselor, most of my time is spent with my family. My greatest joy is spending time with my wife and two kids. We enjoy playing games, reading books, building Legos, playing pretend with dolls and other toys, spending time outside, and being goofy together. My favorite personal pastime is reading, especially the fantasy genre. One reason why I enjoy counseling is because I am given the opportunity to enter the story of each person and journey through it together. My Approach I care deeply about all people and aim to demonstrate that by valuing who you are as an individual and listening attentively to your story. I view counseling as a collaborate process in which we work together to meet your unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to counseling, and so I prefer an eclectic approach. Some I have found effective are internal family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches—though I am always open to discovering others to meet your needs more effectively. I place immense value on the counseling relationship, approaching it from a person-centered perspective, and focus early sessions on building rapport. When engaging with children in I also incorporate developmentally appropriate play and art techniques. What you can expect Trusting people is difficult, especially when it comes to the vulnerable areas of our lives where pain and suffering exist. So, you can expect early sessions to focus on building a foundation of mutual trust. Together we will create an environment of safety where you are free to be and express who you are. I will give you my full, nonjudgmental attention as you share your story. Then we will collaboratively explore your needs, set goals, and problem-solve as we journey towards hope and healing.
I believe that each person has the wisdom and knowledge within them to be able to heal and grow themselves but that intuition can be difficult to access due to our upbringings, beliefs, structural expectations, etc. I am honored to join with clients on their growth journey and provide perspective and safety along the way. I welcome clients from all walks of life and work primarily with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self exploration, and navigating the many transitions of life. I take an eclectic approach that utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Psychedelic Integration and also value the wisdom and significance of spirituality, mindfulness, somatics, ancestral connection, connection with nature and other non western conceptualizations of growth and healing. I foster a inclusive, nonjudgmental and affirming approach that does not shy away from difficult emotions. This is a collaborative relationship where we work together and rely on your inner wisdom to pursue growth at a pace that is healthy for you. If this resonates with you, I look forward to connecting with you and exploring the work we can do together.
