Hey, I’m Andromeda.
I’m a DC-based therapist specializing in trauma and anxiety, and I’d love to support you on your journey!
Welcome!
It’s nice to connect!
Hi everyone! I'm Andromeda (she/her), and I’m happy you’re here. Mental health is not a journey we should have to navigate alone, and I believe healing happens best in spaces where we feel seen.
My path has been shaped by my passions for mental health and entertainment, allowing me to serve as a therapist, life coach, and advocate. I help my clients connect with their inner strength by cultivating self-compassion, exploring trauma, meeting their wellness milestones, and learning new ways to practice their needs.
As a first-generation Ghanaian, Afro-Indigenous woman, I bring a culturally grounded perspective. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding and implement more self-compassion into their day.

Experience in multiple mental health setting
My journey led me to working in private practice and as a life coach. I’m a former clinical director of a trauma-focused PHP/IOP, and have previous experience in both short-term and long-term inpatient settings working with a variety of diagnoses.

Mental Health Advocate
As a public figure, philanthropist, and founder of my own mental health organization, I advocate for increasing global accessibility to mental health care and de-stigmatizing support.
Growing Up
Growing up in holistic spaces, mindfulness has been a lifelong practice. I studied martial arts starting at age 12. Mindfulness meditation was a core part of our practice. By 15, I was leading guided meditation which kickstarted my interests in bringing somatic practices into sessions and public events to support others in building emotional safety.
About Me
Life’s Mission
My life experiences have led me to my journey as a therapist as a complex trauma survivor. Finding myself in therapy at age 18, my healing journey was so transformative, that I knew then that I wanted to support others on their paths. I founded my mental health organization, Your Mind Matters Global which provides free mental health and self-care events worldwide to make support accessible through my platform as Miss Universe Ghana and former Miss United States.
My Style
My work as a therapist is grounded in trauma-and-anxiety-focused care helping you feel supported in learning nervous system regulation. I integrate trauma-informed care and brain education into talk therapy. Even though we meet virtually, I try to create an environment that feels warm and relatable with gentle accountability.
As a life coach, I focus on collaboration with my clients to lay the groundwork for healthy and compassionate accountability as we explore goal building by cultivating a clear path towards each goal, while prioritizing self-care along the way.

Timelines for therapy vary based on the needs of each wonderful client. Most of my clients start with weekly therapy and then taper down to bi-weekly and even monthly. We keep track of your goals together, and although I make recommendations, I lean into how you lead.
For life coaching, we review our progress on a month-to-month basis. Many of my clients scale back from weekly, to bi-weekly, to monthly sessions for maintenance. Some of my clients continue with weekly sessions as new goals arise.
I support you at a pace that feels the best for you, and we strategize together.
