“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”-MLK, Jr. Taking the first step can be a bit scary, but taking the first step toward wellness can add an empowering component to it. My goal is to provide you with a supportive and safe space in taking the walk toward change and wellness. With 15 years of experience providing direct care, I have a firm belief that we cannot talk about adversities, setbacks, failures, or traumas, without acknowledging resilience as well. I strive to help my clients shift from stress and anxiety to realizing their inner strength and external resources to overcome obstacles.
I specialize in helping my clients maintain optimal health and wellbeing by identifying and disarming patterns and triggers, while also providing the necessary tools for healing and transformation. I strive to utilize an individually-tailored, culturally responsive, integrated approach to wellness, while also providing the highest quality treatment.
As a native of Ghana, I also have experience and interest in working with families through immigration challenges related to identity, biculturalism, and acculturation. So, whether you are experiencing a difficult circumstance or looking to overcome a traumatic experience, let me meet you at that first step and support through the journey of resilience.
