About Me

I've always been curious about why we think, feel, and behave the way we do. This curiosity, fueled by my education and experiences, has grown into a passion for helping others understand themselves and their surroundings.

​

My journey as a mother has driven me to assist parents and families in facing life's challenges. As a daughter, mother, wife, and empathetic person, I've faced my own obstacles. These experiences have led me to learn effective techniques for overcoming internal conflicts. My goal is to support others in finding satisfaction and joy by becoming more self-aware, self-loving, and resilient.

"As many of my friends and family know I suffered a severe loss when my oldest daughter Justine was killed in a car accident in 2017.  My world changed forever, and I thought I would never get to a point in my life where I can truly say that I am finding a new me.It has taken several years for me to come to terms with the fact that I could either let this tragedy consume me or rise above it and find peace and purpose in my life again.

I have realized that it is better for a person to have guidance and positive encouragement from others to make life’s journey easier. Therefore, I would like to take this time to say how truly grateful I am to have met my wonderful therapist Amber Raymond who has truly inspired me to grow and continues to assist me through the steps of my healing process.

She has a way of teaching you how to forgive, accept and move through your emotions with ease and positivity.She is an amazing listener; a terrific motivator and her sincerity became apparent upon our first visit. She really is 100% living proof that there are still good people in this world who enjoy helping others and truly want others to succeed." - R. Soulliere
