My counseling style is compassionate, accepting, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I strive to be fully present with you, reassuring you that you are never alone in whatever concerns you may be facing. I will walk alongside you, offering support and guidance while honoring your autonomy. I place before you the options available, but I will never make choices on your behalf. I respect and work with the decisions you make, helping you recognize that your identity is not defined by your current challenges or circumstances. My goal is to empower you to embrace the different choices life presents, while holding you in unconditional positive regard within a safe and supportive space.

My counseling style is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I hold that a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard forms the foundation for meaningful growth and desired outcomes. This relationship also serves as a bridge to integrate other strategies and techniques that align with your goals and needs.

I often integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques and elements of Compassion-Focused Therapy into our work together, equipping you with practical tools while nurturing self-kindness and self-acceptance. This approach empowers you with knowledge, fosters compassion toward yourself, and strengthens your ability to make choices that support your growth and healing.

At the heart of my work is deep listening, attending not only to what you say, but also to what may remain unspoken. I practice cultural humility and sensitivity, remaining open to learning from your unique experiences and perspectives. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring them to what works best for you in the present.

As we journey together in therapy, my hope is that you will discover your own way forward and shape the life you truly desire.

A little about me: I am originally from Nigeria, with a background in Public Administration. Before becoming a counselor, I worked in Human Resources and Administration. I am also the founder of a nonprofit organization in Nigeria that supports single mothers and children in foster care. I am a mother of four. I have experienced firsthand the power of presence, acceptance, and non-judgment in navigating difficult times. My internship experience deepened my work with individuals facing both substance use disorders and mental health challenges, broadening my understanding of the complexities people carry. I bring with me a global perspective on trauma and resilience, informed by diverse cultural contexts. Outside of counseling, I enjoy taking walks, cooking, and watching movies.
