Hi there, I'm Makando!

I approach therapy from a compassionate, holistic perspective rooted in social justice and liberation. I work with individuals presenting with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, and major life transitions, creating space for healing and authentic living.

My focus

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex psychosocial challenges shaped by historical, social, and political systems. These difficulties often impact one's sense of self and overall well-being, particularly in areas such as trauma—including racial and intergenerational trauma—relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

My approach recognizes how societal and systemic factors impact your mental health and shape your sense of self. I view therapy as collaborative, where your unique experiences create meaning. I serve as a mirror, helping you explore your inner world to deepen self-awareness and empower you to honor your whole self.
