Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.
You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

I am a Nigerian-born Registered Social Worker with Master’s degree from Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am a community mental health therapist who believes that people living with mental health challenges need to be supported with resources they need to navigate their challenges.
I believe that you do not need to go through those overwhelming life challenges alone and be feeling worthless, hopeless, pessimistic or a failure in life because you are bigger than your problems and challenges! I strongly believe that you are the expert of your lived experiences, and you know what you need best to navigate your challenges.
My goal is to collaborate with you respectfully and empower you with renewed insight for healing and help you hope for a better tomorrow. My practice approach is meeting my clients at where they are and provide each person a safe, unbiased and respectful space needed to allow collaboration and healing.
As a Registered Social Worker, my professional trainings and work experiences have positioned me to support my clients in unpacking their challenges through renewed insights to allow healing.
I specialize in working with individuals living with mental health challenges-anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, grief, and PTSD. I am also very passionate about the mental well-being of immigrants and refugees.
My practice approach is to first see the person before the problem and holistically use different practice models like Person-Centered Approach, Strength Based Approach, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Anti-Oppressive Approach, just to mention but a few to support my clients.
I know that seeking help can be very challenging during difficult times, hence I come from a position of empathy and compassion during practice to meet the needs of my client.
I also offer spiritual and culture-informed therapy.
I look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey, to be better positioned to achieve your healing goals. Healing is possible for a better tomorrow with renewed insight.

“I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become.”
–Carl Jung.
If you are stuck in the “I wish things had been different” mode,” and feel like there is little hope for change in your life, therapy provides an avenue to be heard, to grieve, to discover acceptance, and to create a new path forward, as you and I work together to formulate small, but consistent steps toward your goal. I believe that each person is unique and brings individual strengths and skills to forge new paths in their lives and in their relationships. I work with both individuals and couples.
My particular strengths are working with the mind-body connection in areas such as mindfulness to address the overtaxed central nervous system, experiential therapy to process the authenticity and intuition of emotions, and cognitive behavioural therapy to restructure thoughts that contribute to dysfunctional relationship with self and others. I have also trained in Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and bring a working knowledge of integrating Spirituality into your mental health care plan, if so desired.
My own journey in mental health has embodied the mind, body and spirit, to heal and thrive. I provide a safe, and compassionate space so that you can feel heard and supported to move toward the change you seek. If you want to discover whether I can be the right therapist for you, I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

I believe that everyone is unique and exploring our inner world can help us appreciate this uniqueness. Our journey and the pain that we go through in our life make each of us special. I have helped individuals, couples and families to discover their pain and realize how it impacts themselves and their relationships. The new meaning and insight that we gain from this exploration helps us accept and love our unique selves, and build deeper relationships with our loved ones.
I provide a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their pain and the emotions that they are going through. I use a collaborative, strength-based approach to help clients make meaning out of their pain, and find their inner strengths to move forward in their life.
If you have any questions, I am happy to speak to you over the phone or via email. If you and I are not the right fit for each other, I would be happy to help you find the right therapist for you.

When our lives feel most stuck, hopeless, or disconnected, I believe that there is an opportunity for deep self-knowledge and actualization. It’s my goal to empower others to explore their inner worlds and work towards cultivating meaning. As a relational therapist, I understand how important relationships are to our personal well-being and mental health, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship between my clients and myself is extremely important. I view each of my clients as unique individuals, and I place a strong emphasis on understanding their own personal stories, and how they’ve been shaped by these stories. I recognize that the behaviours, thoughts, and feelings that come along can be a lot to care for and organize, and I am happy to support you throughout this process!
I offer a relaxed and nonjudgmental space where we can build a comfortable relationship, allowing us to work collaboratively to explore and build upon the strengths and qualities you already possess. I fervently believe in tailoring my therapeutic style to each client, providing interventions that address individual emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual needs. Friendly and compassionate, I also value humour as an important aspect of the healing process.
My approach gives our work together the flexibility to meet your individual needs and goals. I am offering Telehealth services at this time. Please feel free to book a complimentary phone consultation to discuss the type of support you are looking for. If you feel that I would not be a good fit for you, I would be happy to refer you to another therapist. I look forward to connecting with you!

I am an Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppressive Educator and Life Coach, specializing in Conflict Resolution that utilizes an Anti-Oppressive framework. I’m a passionate observer of how theoretical discourse lags behind the expertise of lived experience. I couch my Anti-Racism education in an Anti-Oppressive framework; with the knowledge that at any point, any individual can do harm, while also guiding folks to do good instead. I love abundantly through my work, collaborations, and personal life with the deepest belief that when people are loved they can achieve anything.

Let’s be honest, life is hard, and in many ways, we juggle more today than we ever have!
Unfortunately, life’s challenges can leave us feeling stressed, confused, de-motivated—and in some cases, even helpless and hopeless. It can be a tough road to travel, and unfortunately, many folks feel like they’re walking that path alone, unsure of who to turn to or what to do next. As a therapist, I don’t think anyone should feel that way, so in my work, I commit to supporting my clients, guiding them, and connecting them to resources that can benefit them.
With past experience working with youth, students, adults, and parents, I enjoy collaborating with clients on a variety of challenges. From addressing past and current traumas to coping with physical and mental barriers, stress, anxiety, depression, family or career changes, I’ve helped clients find systems that work for them and achieve long-lasting change. Of course, there may be multiple layers to the challenges you face, and as a woman of colour, I know firsthand how some barriers can make circumstances feel particularly difficult or challenging to navigate. As a result, my goal is to consistently be there for my clients, help them consider various options and perspectives, work with them through the trials and tribulations, and remain a constant source of support, empathy and hope.
At the end of the day, I consider it a privilege to do the work I do and I would be honoured to work with you! Through our time together, it’s my hope that you feel like you’re building a stronger sense of confidence, clarity and community and that ultimately, you walk away feeling more capable and ready to take on whatever’s next.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation to any new clients and would be happy to respond to any inquiries via phone or email.
Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!
