Hi, I’m Nzinga. It’s okay if you’re not okay. Life can feel heavy—especially when you're dealing with trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, or compulsive behaviors. I’m a licensed professional counselor in CT, DC, MD, NV, and NJ, and I offer a safe, supportive space to help you sort through the overwhelm and begin healing.
Whether you're struggling with gambling, sexual urges, racing thoughts, or persistent sadness and worry, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control.
I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you manage emotional triggers, reduce distress, and reconnect with your strengths. My goal is to walk with you toward clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
