Najwa earned her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and will begin her Master’s in Social Work there this fall. She has lived in Milwaukee County her entire life and has always had a strong connection to her community. Najwa has spent years working with children in both social work settings and informal roles, and she continues to be passionate about supporting youth as they navigate life’s challenges.

As the oldest sibling in a large family, Najwa developed strong caregiving skills from a young age, which helped shape her path toward becoming a therapist. She is currently building her caseload and is accepting new clients.

Najwa enjoys working with youth and families on building emotional awareness, self-confidence, and healthy communication skills. She brings a culturally sensitive, strengths-based approach to her work and values meeting clients where they are.

In her free time, Najwa enjoys going on walks, trying new restaurants, attending local events, and spending time with her family and friends.
