Need more information? Let me explain. I never say ‘I just have to keep pushing through’ because that thought traps me in an exhausting cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing. It makes me feel stuck, constantly putting others first, and neglecting my own well-being. For many of us, especially BIPOC women, this pressure is intensified by cultural expectations to be ‘strong’ and ‘selfless,’ leaving little room to prioritize ourselves. But the truth is, we deserve to set boundaries, take breaks, and reclaim our energy. If this resonates with you, it’s time to shift your mindset. Join my Prioritize You Sis group, starting on 11/12! It’s designed to help BIPOC women break free from burnout, set boundaries, and finally put themselves first. Limited spaces left—don’t miss out! #blacktherapist #firstgen #firstgeneration #mentalhealth #selfcare #peoplepleasing #perfectionism.

Hi, I’m Lorrie. (she/her)

Psychotherapist. Speaker. Coach

I am a First-Gen Haitian American who understands first hand the pressures of being first-generation and maybe being the first at doing a lot of things. Also, I have to mention the systemic and social pressures that come with being a midsize, Black woman doesn’t help that list of pressures.

While having first hand experience of what my clients experience, isn’t a requirement for being a therapist, I’ve learned that it helps a lot. I am also a recovering perfectionist & people-pleaser and like you, I understand the struggle of saying no to others & choosing me.

As a therapist & coach, I help my clients create balance in their lives and face perfectionism and people-pleasing head-on. Whether through its through processing your past, trauma with EMDR & Ego States therapy, or providing hands support with time management and productivity, creating healthy and balanced boundaries, and anxiety and stress management, I partner with clients to empower them.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2014. I received my Master's in Social Work from Bridgewater State University in 2019 and became independently licensed in 2022. I have worked in various settings including Psych Crisis Units, Brockton Signature Health, Massachusetts General Hospital, Adult day programs for clients who are Neurodiverse, and other agency settings. I have experience working with adolescents and You & new mothers, those living with breast cancer, sickle cell disease, and many other Chronic Illnesses. I also have experience working in the adoption & foster care system.
