Find an African therapist

When speaking to your family, friends, and pastor still leaves you feeling unsettled, look no further. Speak to a compassionate non-judgmental counselor who can understand. You don’t have to figure it out on your own and you are not stuck. You can find hope and healing. My services are completely confidential and I value your thoughts, experiences, faith, and culture. My role as a psychologist and Christian counselor is to help you navigate a wide range of emotional, mental, and spiritual difficulties so that you can function better and increase your healing and overall well-being. I am particularly drawn to helping people with issues around navigating cultures and transitions, healing relationships, struggling in their Christian faith, finding belonging, and dealing with difficult emotions. I have experience with adults from 18 to 102 years old including college and graduate students, working adults, caregivers and older individuals navigating aging-related issues. I also provide premarital counseling and couples counseling for those in their early years of marriage. I strive to incorporate culturally relevant practices, psychological research, and Biblical wisdom to foster holistic well-being and personal growth in my clients. My hope is to equip you with the tools to heal, thrive, and lead a more fulfilling life. My work has also been informed by my background in public health, working in geriatric facilities, and my experiences with people while living in places including African countries (Cameroon, Senegal, Ghana), El-Salvador, France, and multiple U.S. states. I’ll be happy to have a FREE 15 minute consultation to answer any of your questions.

Being a Black and African cisgender woman grounds who I am and the space I co-create for individuals, couples, families, and communities. I approach my work through an anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive lens that centers on the needs of my clients by celebrating and validating the experiences and wisdom they bring. My goal is to balance building a trusting relationship while creating space to think through the ways that our society and relationships impact our everyday lives. My training as a social worker, marriage and family therapist, and curriculum developer provide me the path to guide clients through the therapy process. Even though parts of the therapy process are very uncomfortable and challenging, I believe in creating a comfortable and supportive environment that encourages trust-building and playfulness when appropriate. Creating space in therapy is a passion of mine because of my continued desire to encourage reflection, start with the strengths, and be a thought partner with clients.

As a BIPOC, trauma-certified, Bowen-informed therapist, I support clients in navigating intergenerational trauma, identity struggles, and the emotional impacts of systemic oppression. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship issues and cultural disconnection by exploring how patterns are passed down through family systems and shaped by broader societal forces. My approach emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation, and building healthier relational dynamics. I work especially well with clients who want to understand their role within their family, heal from racial and complex trauma, and cultivate a stronger sense of self rooted in resilience and cultural pride.
