Dr. Adwoa, Ph.D. 

Health Psychologist | Specializing in Family Health Behavior & Food Psychology​

​

I support parents and caregivers of children with developmental differences, chronic conditions, or medical complexity. 

​

As a Health Psychologist and a mother who has raised a child with medical complexity, I understand firsthand how caregiving can quietly shift your sleep, routines, nutrition, and stress—even when you're highly capable and holding everything together. I combine this lived experience with evidence-based strategies to help families build steadier routines, healthier habits, and  approaches that actually fit into real daily life. 

​

If much of your day is spent juggling therapies, appointments, medications, and school plans, it's easy for your own health routines to quietly erode. This isn't a failure of discipline—it's the reality of sustained caregiving strain. 

​

My approach focuses on restoring sustainable health habits and stabilizing family health systems. Using structured, evidence-informed strategies, and honoring the role that faith and spiritual growth play in many families, I help caregivers make meaningful changes in:

​

• How you eat — and how stress, emotions, and exhaustion shape those choices

• Sleep and daily routines that have quietly slipped under caregiving pressure

• Stress regulation that is realistic, not another item on your to-do list

• Following through on medical routines and therapy plans — for your child and yourself

• Family habits that support well-being without requiring perfection

​

All of this is grounded in health psychology, behavioral science, and family systems principles, applied in real-life caregiving contexts. My approach is grounded in health psychology, behavioral science, and family systems—and for families where faith is central, I welcome that as part of the work.

From the Kitchen to Well-Being: The Psychology of Motherhood, Food, and Family Well-Being

Drawn from a nationwide research study, this book explores how food, motherhood, and daily routines shape the psychological well-being of families — with particular attention to the experiences of African, African American, and Caribbean mothers. If you have ever wondered why healthy habits are so hard to sustain under the weight of real life, this book was written for you.

​

This book reflects my research on the psychological well-being, food behaviors, motherhood and family health habits, exploring how everyday routines shape long-term well-being.
