About Me

I was born and raised in Ghana and moved to the United States at the age of 11. Needless to say, this experience had a significant impact on my life and continues to this day. But I also believe this experience not only influenced my perspective when it comes to issues like anxiety but also on things such as identity formation and what it means to be in relationship with one’s community.

As a therapist, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Hope College in 2014. Afterwards, I completed my Master of Psychology at Seattle University in 2017. While at Seattle University, I completed my practicum with Matumaini Counseling where I facilitated a course in emotional wellbeing, and provided individual counseling to high school students, primarily students of color. In addition to this, I have experience working in mental health care field which include work in an acute psychiatric hospital, working with children diagnosed with autism, providing family and individual therapy to families involved with CPS, as well as facilitating Black men’s groups.

In my free time, you can catch me randomly in coffee shops, at art shows, at live music shows, or playing djembe on the sidewalk with a friend.
