​

I am a dedicated social worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through social, emotional, and financial challenges. My passion for making a difference has driven me to work extensively with diverse communities, providing case management, advocacy, and resources to promote well-being and self-sufficiency.

With a background in health education and social work, I combine the heart of a teacher with the mind of a problem solver. This allows me to approach complex issues with empathy, cultural awareness, and strategic thinking. I specialize in using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in achieving lasting change.

Born and raised in Lomé, Togo, and having lived in New York City for over 15 years, I deeply understand the role of culture in shaping behavior. This perspective informs my practice as I strive to provide creative, personalized solutions that meet each client’s unique needs.

When I’m not working or spending time with my children, I enjoy reading fiction, writing my thoughts, and helping out in my community.

I  am committed to helping individuals better understand themselves and navigate relationships through intentionality and self-awareness. I work to provide a safe, nurturing environment for gentle healing and the exploration of new possibilities. Taking the leap to begin therapy can be scary but it is an impactful and long lasting way to care for yourself.

Therapy looks different for each person, together we will find the style that works best for you. Sometimes through therapy, we need to get to the root beliefs and feelings about ourselves or a specific event. Other times, we just need to learn how to look with a different lens at a situation.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress management, grief/loss and challenging life transitions such as marriage, divorce, job loss or becoming a new parent. I enjoy working with all ages but specialize in early, mid and late adulthood. 2sLGBTQIA+ affirming
