About Me

I am a Registered Social Worker with a masters in Social Work. I have over 14 years of experience in mental health. I am a member of the College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers, the Ontario Association of Social Worker. I have extensive experience in working with various age groups, and settings. I provide counselling, consultation, in-service training and psychotherapy to adults (18+), seniors and working professionals. In addition, I provide house calls counselling if needed.

My passion is to bridge the gap between accessible mental health services and the unique cultural needs of individuals. If you're seeking a sense of connection and community while managing everyday mental health concerns, you're not alone.

My approach to working with clients are genuine, flexible, strength-based, client-centered, collaborative and non-judgmental. You are the expert in your life; therapy provides you the opportunity to partner with a professional to face, challenges, identify goals and changes while using counselling model to effectively recapture connection in your relationship, work, and school life. I am fluent in English, Yoruba, and Pidgin.

It's my privilege to help clients as they navigate through life's challenges, many of which I've experienced myself including childbirth, marriage, parenting, divorce, and death. I pride both my personal experiences and my more than 14 years work experiences within mental health, as my best weapons to understanding and connecting with clients in a non-judgmental and inclusive space.

I am trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Strength-Based, Motivational Interviewing skills. I provide efficient and effective support in crisis intervention, ongoing conflict resolution in a collaboratively manner. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and accepting change and transition.
