Mental health is an integral part of leading a wholesome healthy life. As the saying goes “healthy body, healthy mind”, the opposite is equally true. Life comes with all sorts of traumatic events and difficult circumstances that impact our mental wellbeing and manifests in feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger and discontent. It is important for us all to navigate and overcome these difficulties so they don’t affect our overall health and quality of life.

I'm an Italian – Ghanaian Immigrant and I understand what its like to face uncertainty. At young age I immigrated to the U.S and had to deal with all of life’s curveballs: parental divorce, adjusting to new culture, anxiety, depression, etc. However, I learned what it means to be resilient. Resilience takes vulnerability and courage. It takes believing you will make it out on the other side. I understand what it is like to face life’s pressures and questions: what if I fail, and what if I am not good enough? You feel trapped, you are suffering silently & everyone expects you to be strong. If this is where you are, I am here to help.

My ideal clients are often working to discover unproductive patterns in their lives that undermine their ability to live the full, happy life they desire. Together we identify habits of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, such as procrastination, negative thinking, self-criticism, poor communication, paralysis, anxiety, frustration, stress, depression — that interfere with pursuit of your unique goals. I help strengthen my clients' motivation to try new behaviors to improve their personal relationships and work-lives, heal from trauma, and work toward goals that will bring them a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment, and effectiveness.

Today may be one of the “Bad Days,” maybe even the worst yet. Lately, bad days are becoming more frequent. Racing thoughts, worry, anxiety, sadness, and lack of motivation seem to be taking over everything. You’re doing your best, but doing day to day tasks becomes a battle that is becoming harder to win. You’re always tired. Your brain never stops. Loved ones are concerned and maybe complain, which makes you feel worse. You shut down and either put on a show or avoid the people, tasks, and events that are important. The negative voice in your head is getting louder and louder and it says horrible and scary things to and about you.
