Hi! My name is Afia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an earned Masters degree from Central Connecticut State University. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector and have explored, incorporated and utilized many of the skills I gained from community and health settings to enhance myself as a therapist.
I am passionate about supporting people in finding healing and hope from all different walks of life. Many of my clients have started their healing journey feeling helpless in their parenting, swallowed by anxiety, bogged down by a fog of depression, out of control managing their ADHD, or keep hitting a dead end trying to repair their marriage or relationships.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), and I am passionate about helping individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, perinatal mental health concerns, and everyday life stressors, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and build effective coping strategies.
As a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. My commitment to paying it forward and leading with kindness drives my passion for helping others. I've worked extensively with terminally ill clients, families, adults, children, and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and various other challenges.
As a compassionate and experienced therapist, my mission is to support individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences, including loss, acute and chronic illness, trauma, life transitions, caregiver burnout, depression, and anxiety. With an extensive background in healthcare and hospice, I understand that these difficult circumstances can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of where to turn. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based therapies to help you find clarity, healing, and strength as you navigate these challenges. I specialize in helping individuals cope with the profound emotional and psychological impact that these experiences bring.
