In today’s society, many people are dealing with situations that impact their lives and make them feel unbalanced, trapped, lost, and out of control. Antoinette firmly believes that there are ways to navigate these situations so they do not hinder anyone from being who they are meant to be. As a therapist, Antoinette’s goal is to assist individuals in gaining insight and balance while taking back control of their lives and mental health.

Antoinette’s tools on this journey to wholeness include therapeutic techniques such as, Person-centered Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Crisis Intervention, and Motivational Interviewing.

A couple of her favorite quotes are: “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he” and “She believed she could, so she DID”
