About ME

 Growing up in a West African household, I was surrounded by aunties. In my family, they were the “sweet spot” of accessible adults who were easy to talk to, listened without judgment, and offered new perspectives to consider. My upbringing led me naturally to embrace a 25-year career in communications, where my journey has been dedicated to the power of words, the art of listening, and the profound impact they can have on our lives.  

 Listening isn’t just a skill for me; it’s a passion. I believe there’s incredible strength in being heard. As a gifted listener, I understand the nuances of effective communication, the healing potential of sharing our stories, and the immense value of simply being present for one another. 

My commitment to inclusion and belonging goes beyond experience; it’s a continuous journey of learning and growth. I’ve pursued extensive coursework in mental health, focusing on motivational interviewing, culturally informed treatment and trauma-informed care. These experiences have enriched my ability to deeply connect, helping me create a welcoming space where people of all backgrounds and identities can feel heard and understood.

Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges, experiencing moments of self-discovery, or simply in need of someone to talk to, I look forward to embarking on this journey with you. I’m here to be your trusted confidant, offering compassion and understanding, one conversation at a time.

Thank you for considering ConfidAunt as your source of support. I’m here when you’re ready to talk.
