Trains are built in sections, each block designated for a specific destination. Mine was manufactured in Colombia and assembled in Venezuela, setting off for the United States on September 30, 1995—a date that initially felt like a derailment but ultimately marked the beginning of an incredible journey. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the challenges of being an immigrant, highlighting how generational trauma and unresolved childhood issues can affect our mental health and ability to achieve our goals, form healthy relationships, and recognize our inherent worthiness of love and respect. These lessons have shaped my identity and ignited a deep gratitude within me, along with a strong desire to support others on similar journeys. If your train has derailed, let’s work together to transform it into a remarkable journey!

My train starts in the good old USA. By being a New Jersey native, my exposure to our diverse cultures allowed me to help people deal with different traumas from all walks of life. It's never any judgment, just a sounding board. Also with being a woman of African American descent, this allows me to connect with those who find comfort in working with someone who looks like them. Whether you find similarities with me or not, one thing I can guarantee is you will have a partnership with me to combat your needs of healing. As long as you show up for you, I will show up too. Can't wait to work together to build your new anticipated future.

Trains are built in blocks of cars by destination. My train originates with roots from Haiti. As a first-generation Haitian-American, I’m passionate about connecting with others who share a similar story. Together, we can tackle challenges while honoring your traditions and cultures. My work with children and families, along with my own background, has equipped me to support people from diverse cultures. I’m here as a partner on this journey with you. With my guidance, we'll embark on a transformative journey of healing your inner child and unveiling your most authentic self.

Well before my emotions were trained, trains in fact brought me emotions… happiness. Growing up in Brooklyn I had a keen interest in the NYC subway system, the idea that trains can go anywhere and ride through any terrain (in the air, underground, through the trees) excited me. My analytical skills developed as I studied the bus and train system, leading me to have a great sense of direction. Transplant that into the mind, thanks to studies on neuroplasticity we now know that synaptic connections are formed, shaped, and reshaped by everything we do. We have the power as humans to disable and make new firing patterns, then from there we can have a new sense of direction. A sense of direction that is an upgrade from feeling lost or having no motivation to “go anywhere”. Let's take a train ride together, you and me! I’ll be the train conductor and you can be the engineer. Try not to overthink the stop we are getting off at, but appreciate the journey along the way.

Welcome everyone! My train station is located in a very small town in New Jersey where I was born and raised. Both of my parents are from Morocco, making me a first-generation American. Being a child of immigrants, brings me unique strengths and perspectives to my practice, especially those from diverse backgrounds. I have a deep understanding of how culture, languages, and tradition shape individuals, and proficient at navigating conflicts or challenges that can arise. I am extremely grateful to have been in contact with people of all different races, religions, and ethnicities and believe we can all learn and grow from each other and with one another. I am effective in fostering empathy, understanding, and healing for clients from a wide range of backgrounds and excited to keep doing so!
