Play Therapy in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

I work with individuals, couples, children, and their families who are struggling with transitional life changes, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting, and trauma. I also work with clients dealing with abandonment and issues that they have due to childhood and recent traumas, including grief and loss issues and transition. I was born in Haiti and moved to the U.S when I was 12 years old, so I have a clear understanding of the struggles of transition and adaptation. In addition, I am a qualified supervisor for registered mental health interns.

I have over 15 years of experience in working with children, adolescents and families in the Chicago, Illinois and Palm Beach, Florida area.

Seeking safety, connection, and acceptance is an inherent part of the human experience. The best way to fully experience this is through an empathetic, non-judgmental, and welcoming counselor.

When one can Identify the patterns within the subconscious, there is freedom and healing!
