My Approach

My Liberian upbringing grounded me in resilience, compassion, and community — values that continue to guide my work today.

Over the years, I’ve combined these core values with my clinical training to create a grounded, culturally aware, and practical approach to healing and growth. I focus on helping people understand themselves more deeply, honor their emotional truth, and live in alignment with their values rather than expectations.

Whether I’m supporting clients, mentoring clinicians, guiding leaders, or speaking to large audiences, my approach is honest, relatable, trauma-informed, and rooted in the belief that transformation begins with clarity, self-awareness, and the courage to choose yourself.
