How I Can Support You

My approach is collaborative by getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and working together to create treatment goals that improve your mental health. I support clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, postpartum depression, and substance use. I also work with clients around racial and immigrant identity, and life transitions in young adulthood.

My Approach

As your therapist, I’ll create a safe, inclusive space where you can be your true self and openly share your experiences and goals. You won’t face life’s challenges alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way. My client-centered approach means I’ll meet you wherever you are in your journey, focusing on your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore how to handle new challenges, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward elevating your mood and overall well-being. Our sessions will be a space of growth, healing, and empowerment tailored just for you.

About Me

I am a Nigerian-American. I understand the systemic barriers that BIPOC individuals face and the inequalities they encounter. I believe in equality and equity for all, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or sexuality. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and to have access to the same rights and opportunities. I’m dedicated to creating inclusive environments where underrepresented groups feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to thrive. I’m a social person who enjoys hiking, traveling, and exploring creativity through stand-up comedy and improv. My warmth and humor help create a relaxed environment where you can feel at ease while we work through your challenges.
