I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with children and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and some substance use, also at a psychiatrist hospital and with youth in the juvenile system. I’m a first-generation Nigerian American and the creative “black sheep” of my family. I bring empathy, authenticity, and individuality into my therapy practice, helping clients heal and grow.
Stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Or living with someone who is? Let’s talk. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, I work with families and adolescents who face all kinds of life challenges. Parenting and family relationships are my specialty, but I work with clients who have all kinds of struggles, including military families with their unique dynamics, victims or observers of domestic abuse, and adolescents/teens who need help managing their emotions and controlling their behavior. And our sessions can all be from the convenience and comfort of your own home through a secure virtual platform. Please schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation now to see if we’re a good fit for each other!
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, holistic mental health care for individuals across the lifespan. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, schizophrenia, and substance use challenges, helping them regain balance and confidence in their lives.
My approach to care is warm, empowering, and collaborative. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported while navigating their mental health journey. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports emotional well-being, symptom management, and long-term stability.
With experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I have supported individuals facing complex mental health challenges and life stressors. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy, while incorporating lifestyle and coping strategies that promote lasting wellness.
I am passionate about helping people develop the tools and understanding they need to take control of their mental health. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working toward meaningful change.
I help high-achieving girls and women who struggle with self-esteem and body image challenges. Many of my clients are “Type-A” personalities, excelling in school, careers, or competitive environments but feel trapped by an inner critic, fear of judgement, and a constant drive for control.
Hello, I'm a licensed professional counselor and supervisor based in Texas. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Psychology from The University of Texas and my master's degree in Psychology from Houston Baptist University. My focus is primarily on assisting teens and adults who face an array of challenges such as managing anger, coping with anxiety and depression, dealing with trauma/abuse, addressing relationship issues, and adapting to life changes.
My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco
Searching for therapists in Waco starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Waco counselors, look for therapists whose listed specialties match your needs. Their profiles can also show training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Waco, local therapist availability can vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, which appointment times work for your calendar, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Waco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details, and are ready to take new patients. You can browse therapists in Waco, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
