About me
My passion is supporting individuals, families, and communities, particularly those navigating the unique experiences of being African, an immigrant, or part of a multicultural family. As an immigrant from Senegal who grew up in New York City, I understand the complexities of balancing cultures, family expectations, identity, and the challenges of adjusting to a new environment.I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with seven years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the City College of New York and a master’s degree in Social Work from New York University. I have supported adolescents, young adults, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, acculturation stress, life transitions, relationship and family challenges, spirituality, and adjustment difficulties.My approach is warm, culturally sensitive, and grounded in creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self without leaving your culture, values, or faith at the door. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and faith-informed frameworks to support clients develop healthy coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change.Whether you are navigating a transition, working through past experiences, managing family or cultural expectations, or seeking to better understand yourself, you do not have to navigate it alone. If you are seeking to grow and become more connected to your authentic self, I invite you to connect with me for a consultation call. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward greater well being, balance, and a deeper sense of self.
