Are you a woman who feels stuck in life? Maybe you're living with regrets about the past, frustration about the present, or worry about the future. If this sounds like you, I would like to help. Hi! I'm Malika. I am a licensed clinical social worker, with a Masters degree in Social Work from The University of Georgia. I have worked in hospitals, hospice agencies, home-based medical care, and behavioral health hospitals. I believe that wellness includes mental, physical and spiritual wholeness. Life's journey can be difficult, but within my therapeutic space, you'll find solace, understanding, and unwavering support. It is a safe space, where your pain is validated and your voice is heard. I create a non-judgmental and empathic space, where you'll gain the resilience needed to embrace life's challenges head-on.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our time together, I aim to create an environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Each session is an opportunity for you to be heard, valued, and supported. My goal is for you to leave each encounter feeling affirmed, validated, and one step closer to realizing your aspirations. Whether you're navigating challenging emotions or life transitions, I am here to accompany you on your path to healing and self-discovery.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with women in life transition for many years, I have discovered how to help them tap into their own strengths, get unstuck, and live meaningful lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I believe that negative, self-defeating, and inaccurate thoughts are often the root of depression and anxiety. In utilizing CBT in my practice, I aim to help people challenge those unhelpful thoughts, reframing them into more realistic and healthy thoughts.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." - Jon Kabat Zinn. I believe that this quote perfectly illustrates how you can live a meaningful life, despite inevitable life stressors, disappointments, and losses. ACT (pronounced as 'act', not A.C.T.) will teach you how to spend less energy trying deny and avoid your emotions. This is exhausting, and keeps you stuck! Instead, you commit to making positive changes in your life that align with your personal values.
