Description
I work with young adults and adults facing various life challenges, struggling with emotional difficulties, familial and societal demands and views, that might inform and impact their abilities to be their best selves, individuals and couples wanting to make sense of their lives, their relationships, and/or working at understanding and embracing who they are. Creating spaces in which gender expressions, sexual and affectional orientations, acculturation issues affecting immigrants, are welcome and explored, is a focus of my work.
As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and board certified psychiatrist in Haiti, working with individuals and couples, with transracial adoptive same-sex and different-sex parents, we co-construct a space where similarities and differences are addressed, meanings are made, a space that allows for in-depth exploration, that supports growth and expansiveness.
I conduct sessions in English, Haïtian Creole, and French.
Over the years, I have accompanied cancer patients and their families, providing them a supportive and empathic space in which they can explore their options, redefine their priorities, and validate their coping skills, a space to also grieve and nurture themselves.
I also run a free, monthly Support Group, in Creole, for Haitians dealing with cancer.
