A note from Malaika
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. I have worked with the Veterans Health Administration since 2015 and manage a national caregiver support program that provides therapy to Caregivers of Veterans. I earned my BA from Wofford College and MSW from the University of South Carolina, with advanced training in dementia care and palliative/hospice care and end-of life issues. I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending time with loved ones.
