Weaving through your strengths and resources, I bring in my lived experience as someone who has had to restart a few things in life.  I believe it is never too late to embark on a journey to achieve better health. I studied, worked, and lived in 4 different continents: Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America and I'm passionate about walking alongside families, youths, seniors, and individuals from diverse backgrounds as they harness their internal and external resources to achieve whole health.

As a Christian, my approach to work is based on Amos 3:3- “Can two walk together unless they agree?”

My goal is to come alongside and support you to heal one layer at a time. You are not broken. Through exploration, we can get to the core of the problem, identify your desired dream life, and apply your internal resources to attain holistic healing.

If you feel like you cannot do it anymore, reach out. It does not have to be lonely, dark, painful, and confusing as it has been. I can help. An African proverb says “If you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far, go with someone.” People can heal in positive relationships. Let me help you go far.

As a former child intervention worker and therapist in a psychosis program, I have experience working with people involved with child and family services, bicultural parenting, and persons who struggle with serious and persistent mental illness and addictions.

Mindful of structural and systemic invitations that contribute to mental distress, I love to use a holistic lens that does not only consider the bio-psychosocial and spiritual factors but also focus on addressing other social determinants of health.
