Hi there, I'm Malaika!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in helping people get unstuck. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, a relationship going sideways, a major life shift, or just the kind of stress that won't quit, I'm here for it. My practice is a space where you can be real, feel supported, and figure out what healing actually looks.

My focus

My clients are often high-functioning people who are exhausted on the inside — juggling work, relationships, and responsibilities while quietly struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or emotional pain. Together, we'll work on boundaries, self-awareness, and practical tools that create real, lasting change — in a space that's compassionate.

My approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and judgment-free. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, strengths-based, and solution-focused techniques — always tailored to your unique background and goals — to help you build real tools, deepen self-awareness, and navigate life with more confidence.
