A note from Makini
Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. As a therapist, I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach while also considering the holistic factors that influence each person’s well-being. Coming from a Caribbean background, I value the connection between culture, healing, and the belief that food can be an important form of medicine—an understanding that often informs the way I view wellness and support my clients. In my free time, I enjoy being with my husband and children, hiking, cooking, and exploring new and adventurous experiences. I look forward to supporting you towards your growth journey.
