Understanding ourselves can be hard at times, especially when we can't find the right words. Have you been fighting to be “okay” when you’re not? Are you having issues in your relationships or difficulty moving past childhood trauma? When was the last time you were truly able to connect with yourself? Life is always bringing us new challenges but there’s nothing that says you have to face it alone. Therapy doesn’t mean there’s something "wrong" with you, and we all can benefit from support at the right time. You can think of therapy as IT for your brain, and I'm here to support and walk with you on your journey to authenticity!

As a Ghanaian & a veteran of the United States Army, I understand the stigma that is placed on mental health. It can be difficult to reach out for support when you need it. If that is you, then know that I will go slow & not push you too quickly. I am a trauma-informed therapist who is also currently a Level 2 Gottman Method Couples Therapist. Currently, I am working towards my Certification in Sex Therapy. When working with me, you will get a therapist who is not only sincere, empathetic, & non-judgmental, but also someone who will be direct. Know that the directness is coming from a caring place!

Growing up, you had to deny parts of yourself in order to be loved. Maybe you grew up in a family, culture, or religious background that rejected aspects of your identity, so you learned to repress or abandon parts of yourself in order to fit in. In adulthood, you find yourself struggling to form deep connections with yourself and others. On your hardest days, you might even question whether you’re lovable at all, or if maybe you’re too broken to ever fully feel whole.

There is nothing more isolating than feeling like you’re alone in your experiences—constantly Googling what “normal” would feel like. Your life feels everything but normal, and in an attempt to make your life seem like everything’s fine, you don’t talk about your anxiety. You don’t talk about the crippling stress you feel at work. You don’t talk about how you haven’t eaten today. You desperately want to feel normal, and you want everyone to think everything is okay. But you are far from okay. You constantly wonder if other people feel the way you do.

You are a woman who has been devastated by grief over pregnancy loss, infertility, or postpartum depression or anxiety. You desperately want to find someone to talk to about how alone and sad you feel. You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry lately. Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be moving on without you. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again. Society glamorizes pregnancy and motherhood which can make you feel even more alone and misunderstood. If you see one more pregnancy announcement or social media post about the happiness of motherhood, you might lose it!
