Hi, I’m Joanne!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am obsessed with documentaries, and I am also a lover of music, books, fashion, and traveling. I am the daughter of immigrants. My parents immigrated to America from Haiti, and I am a first generation Haitian-American. I was born and raised in the Boston area. I am currently licensed in the state of Massachusetts. My mission is to help facilitate healing through therapy.

Currently I am therapist in private practice, I also work with adolescents in a school setting and as a triage clinician  providing 24hr support and psychiatric evaluations for clients living in the Metro-Boston area. The majority of my career has been working with people of color.

I believe that one of my life’s purposes is to be a therapist.  I am extremely passionate about helping people unlock emotional and mental freedom. I love helping people find healthy ways to manage their anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I guide clients through the (sometimes challenging) process of unlocking their emotions and developing healthy coping skills and boundaries. I know from my own mental health journey, and counseling others that developing healthy coping skills and boundaries can be daunting. 

My approach as a therapist is to be supportive, engaging, collaborative, and compassionate. I provide a space so people can be authentically themselves. In this safe space people can explore their life experiences and how that has impacted their current situation.
