A note from Nwakaego

I’m a LICSW based in Washington, DC, with years of experience helping individuals and couples manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, parenting, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect. I create space for you to show up fully and feel heard—without judgment. I often use CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, trauma-informed, strength-based, and attachment-based approaches. Therapy is a meaningful act of self-care. I’ll meet you where you are and work with you to build more clarity, connection, and ease.
