Are you overwhelmed, having difficulty functioning, or just feeling unlike yourself lately? As someone who was born in Nigeria and has personally navigated cultural adjustment and its stressors, I understand how complex it can feel to find your footing. Drawing on both my lived experience and professional training, I meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs. I use tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to help you create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a licensed social worker who believes healing happens in safe, supportive relationships. I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating stress, trauma, emotional challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood.

For clients who request it, I am comfortable integrating faith-informed perspectives into our work while always respecting diverse beliefs and backgrounds. I honor that healing can look different for everyone, and I meet clients where they are.

I see therapy as a partnership; one rooted in trust, growth, and real-life change.

Therapist

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
