I view therapy as a meaningful act of self-investment — an opportunity to approach oneself with curiosity, courage, and compassion. I strive to create a warm, validating, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed space where clients feel seen and supported. My approach is collaborative, relational, and evidence-based, integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I help clients cultivate emotional flexibility, resilience, and self-awareness while clarifying their values and taking meaningful action in alignment with what matters most to them.

Before graduating from the NYU Silver School of Social Work, I worked in international human rights and educational settings. I have over 15 years of experience as a clinical social worker and previously worked with formerly homeless adults in supportive housing as a social worker, supervisor, and assistant program director.

I am solution-focused but use different approaches when helping clients. I like to figure out which methods work best, as there isn't a one-size-fits-all way. I use various tools to help, and if one tool isn't right, we search for others, never giving up. Clients can expect to have great tools and coping mechanisms moving forward, and they will know what steps need to be taken on their journey and feel confident in knowing they have my support and commitment.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's Degree in the state of NY. I have been a therapist for about 8 years and attended graduate school at night while raising two amazing children.

I am an empathetic and open-minded clinician, striving to meet my clients where they are, build trust, and maintain a safe, non-judgmental environment. I am experienced and passionate about working with teens and adults with various forms of trauma. Additionally, I utilize SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) for families impacted by anxiety and OCD to help them understand the impact these experiences have on their lives, ultimately finding the resolutions and outcomes they hope for. While EMDR therapy is my primary treatment approach for individuals, or SPACE for families, I also utilize ACT, Parts Work, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and others.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of New York. I attended SUNY Buffalo where I obtained a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Education with a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Mental Health Counseling. I started my career as a School Counselor before transitioning full-time to Mental Health Counselor.

It is important to me that every client feels safe, heard, and supported. I am easygoing and approachable, and I believe in meeting clients where they are. My goal is to build a trusting relationship where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and goals at your own pace. In the beginning, my approach would be Person Centered Therapy to help build a strong therapeutic relationship and for clients to feel supported. Once we've established a foundation, I tailor my approach based on the client's presenting concerns. I often incorporate techniques I have experience with and feel comfortable using, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. I also believe in being flexible and adapting my methods to fit each client's situation.

I graduated from SUNY Oswego in 2019 with a degree in Mental Health Counseling. While in school, I interned at an outpatient addiction treatment center, which sparked my interest in working with adults. After graduation, I moved back to New York City and continued my work in addiction by working at a rehab facility. I later transitioned to an outpatient clinic where I had the opportunity to work with clients across a wide range of diagnoses for three years. This experience has made me more comfortable and confident supporting individuals with diverse mental health needs.

I am very down to earth and professionally direct. I practice individualism and treat each patient as their own person. I develop treatment plans with the patient that tailor to each of their individual needs. My treatment styles and modalities include Trauma-Informed Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Grief Therapy.

My typical process when working with patients is to first establish a therapeutic rapport by asking open-ended questions, such as, "Have you been in therapy before, including as a child or teen (if the patient is over 18)?" This helps establish a starting point to build a trusting and individualized relationship. My next question is, "Why did you first enter therapy and were you diagnosed with any mental health disorders?" I continue by asking if the client is or has been on psychotropic medications and what brings them back to therapy. I gather all of this information during the first two sessions and then ask the patient if any skills were built during their therapy journey and if they still utilize those skills. Finally, I administer the ACE Questionnaire to assess for childhood trauma, if the patient is over 18 years of age.

I received my bachelor's degree in Arts and Psychology in 2007 and two master's degrees in science, one in Community Mental Health Counseling and the second in School Counseling Education, in 2011 and 2018. I hold a License in Mental Health Counseling, a Credentialed Alcoholic and Substance Abuse Counseling Certification-Trainee, and a Permanent Certification in School Counseling. I am currently in doctoral school for my School Psychology degree. I am a former Alcohol and Substance Abuse Preventive Worker and Treatment and Therapeutic Foster Care Family Specialist, and I currently practice as an online therapist with my own Mental Health Counseling Private Practice in Buffalo.

I am also the co-founder of an all-girls mentoring and educational program called "Unique Sisters," started in 2014 and owned by my mother, Rhodesia Jackson.

As a therapist, my work has given me in-depth insight into how multiple systems and important relationships can influence the course of a person's life. As a queer woman of Haitian descent, I explore different ways the intersectionality of culture, family, identity, and sexuality can impact our lives. I am fascinated by stories of vulnerability, always looking for strengths and solutions. I help people feel safe to be themselves and go from where they are to where they can be. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy, integrating Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Solution-Focused Therapy, collaborative conversations, and systemic approaches to address LGBTQ+ issues, racial trauma, cultural identity exploration, and relational wounds.

I earned a B.S. in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Palm Beach Atlantic University, followed by my M.S. and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. In 2020, I was featured in Forbes for my study of resilience and intersecting identities in queer women of Afro-Caribbean descent. Past roles include bilingual mental health assessor, psychology instructor at Broward College, and Student Counselor at Lynn University.
