Growing up in Ghana, West Africa, and later moving to the United States during a pivotal stage in my life was a challenging experience. Adjusting to a new culture, navigating unfamiliar spaces, and finding my sense of belonging was not easy. However, having a strong family support system helped me find balance and the resilience needed to adapt. That experience shaped my understanding of what it feels like to face uncertainty, fear, and self-doubt. It also fueled my passion for helping others, leading me to establish SKA Therapeutic Services LLC.

​

With over 20 years of experience across nonprofit organizations, healthcare, and education, I have dedicated my career to advocating for children, supporting families, and promoting emotional well-being. My work has included advocating for children impacted by trauma, managing and implementing youth programs, and most recently, serving as a mental health clinician and school social worker. In these roles, I have conducted mental health assessments, diagnoses, and psychotherapeutic treatment for individuals and families through individual and group therapy.

 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, I am deeply committed to the well-being of my clients. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and collaborative, ensuring that we work together with honesty and trust to uncover your internal strengths and support your journey toward healing.
