I provide psychotherapy to adults of all ages, creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their experiences, gain insights, and develop coping strategies. I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship concerns, life transitions, identity issues, trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and academic challenges. With a genuine and authentic presence, I empower clients to reach their fullest potential.
Raised in New York City and in a culturally rich Nigerian-American household, I am deeply committed to enhancing mental health care within marginalized communities. As a fierce advocate for social justice, I recognize the profound influence of systemic oppression on well-being and strive to address the intersectional nature of social injustices in my work. I believe that therapy is most effective when centering clients’ unique cultural backgrounds and values, helping them identify, navigate, and resist oppressive structures.
Through my training in university counseling center settings, I have become attuned to the unique challenges and joys faced by undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early career professionals. I draw upon this expertise to provide tailored support to individuals in academic and professional settings.
Beyond my clinical work, I am a scholar and educator. I present on diversity and inclusion, teach courses on multiculturalism to undergraduate students, and conduct research on topics such as Black Women’s experiences with colorism in social media, which was the focus of my dissertation. Through these efforts, I aim to amplify marginalized voices, challenge dominant narratives, and cultivate a more equitable and just society for all.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
