Hi there, I'm Judith! I’m a child and adolescent therapist who also supports adults. As a Ghanaian American woman and immigrant, I understand how challenging it can be to find a therapist who truly gets you—someone who sees your story, your culture, and the quiet battles that come with transition and belonging. I offer a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can simply be yourself. Together, we’ll build a strong, authentic relationship rooted in empathy, trust, and mutual respect. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, or complex family dynamics, my goal is to help you feel empowered, and resilient.
I work with individuals, couples, and families, ages 6–65. My space is affirming, culturally responsive, and intentionally created to help you unpack your experiences and begin to heal. Navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, autism, ADHD, or a sense of cultural disconnection?I tailor each session to meet you exactly where you are.
I use CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, IFS, and mindfulness-based practices to find what truly works for you. We’ll move at a pace that respects your comfort while gently challenging the barriers that hold you back. Therapy isn’t just about healing. It’s about transformation. I can't wait to help you explore your story, your strengths, and thrive.

For adults, I focus on exploring and processing childhood experiences and layered aspects of identity that influence current patterns, while incorporating complementary therapeutic modalities to support growth. With children, I primarily utilize play therapy to uncover underlying themes, recognize behavioral patterns, and build trust while helping them navigate their social environment.
