My passion and niche within my professional career have been found with working in the Mental Health field specifically with marginalized populations. I consider myself a problem solving mental health professional, concentrated on crisis interventions with solution-based approaches. I am a Cum Laude graduate of the University of Florida with an undergraduate BA in Criminology & Law, BS in Psychology, and Minor in Leadership. Currently residing in Gainesville, Florida, I am of Haitian descent born in Haiti, raised in South Florida. I am currently a Graduate student at Columbia University obtaining an MSW specializing in Advanced Clinical Practice. My current position as a Pregnancy Counselor allows me to provide support to expecting families throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery by serving as a bridge to resources, education, medical, and social services. My research interests are focused on providing collaborative and effective therapeutic services to individuals to create culturally sensitive treatment goals; which would include education, advocating for their rights, and collaborating with community resources to introduce quality and accessible mental healthcare.
