Most of my clients come in carrying more than stress — they're carrying cultures, expectations, family roles, and a lifetime of learning how to keep it moving even when they're running on empty. I work with adults who are ready to stop white-knuckling through life and start understanding why certain patterns keep showing up. I'm a Licensed Therapist in Maine, and I speak English and Mandinka. For my West African clients and those navigating a bicultural life, that matters — you won't spend energy translating your world before we can get to work. I work exclusively via telehealth, which means you can access real, quality therapy from wherever you are in Maine.

I bring warmth and directness into the same room. You'll feel genuinely respected here — and you'll also be challenged. I don't believe growth comes from just being heard; it comes from being honest. My approach is holistic, meaning I pay attention to the whole person: your history, your identity, your relationships, your body, and the way your culture shapes how you understand yourself. I draw on evidence-based practices and adapt them to fit who you are — not a generic intake form. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, ADHD, or the weight of family and cultural pressure, I meet you where you are and help you figure out where you want to go.

Expect a real conversation — not a checklist. In the first session, I want to understand what brought you here, what you've already tried, and what your life actually looks like day to day. You won't be pressured to share more than you're ready for, and you won't get a cookie-cutter treatment plan handed to you after 50 minutes. You'll leave the first session with a clearer sense of what we're working on and why, and with the feeling that you've been genuinely heard by someone who takes your full context seriously.
