Born in Africa, I was exposed to a variety of cultures and lifestyles and I bring to the therapeutic relationship sensitivity to diversity and acculturation. I am keenly interested in how societal, cultural and gender expectations influence young women and how these pressures to conform affect their self-esteem and overall mental health.
I focus primarily on disordered eating, anxiety, depression and issues related to sexual health – abuse, dysfunction or sexual identity concerns. My literature review examines the effects childhood sexual abuse plays in disordered eating in adult females and is published in the professional journal PROGRESS: Family Systems Research and Therapy.
I treat adult individuals and couples and I work in a manner that reflects my own values of integration through a mind, body and spirit awareness. I earned my bachelor's degree from California State University Northridge and a master’s degree in psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute.
