About my approach

Warm, collaborative, and culturally informed—paired with practical tools. I help you identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behavior, then build a plan to change them. We’ll connect mind–body cues, clarify values, and translate insight into skills you can use right away.

What clients say

Clients share that they feel safe and understood and that I help them recognize and challenge thinking patterns, practice new coping skills, and follow through on changes that matter.

Guiding idea / Point of therapy

“Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. To be heard is to be known, and to be known is to be loved.”

Therapy is a dedicated space to explore identity, name what hurts, and strengthen the resilience and values that already live in you.

Tools & frameworks I use

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Polyvagal informed approaches • Narrative therapy • Mindfulness • Strength-based, culturally responsive care

What you can expect in a session with me

We’ll work together to explore what matters most to you and find a path forward that feels supportive and meaningful. In our sessions, you’ll have space to share what’s important while we gently notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I often draw on thought recognition from CBT, emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills from DBT, and values-based tools from ACT to help you build awareness, balance, and self-compassion.

If you’re nervous to start…

It’s okay not to have it all figured out. Think of therapy like finding the right pair of jeans—you won’t know the fit until you try. We’ll go at a steady pace and adjust as we learn what helps.

My colleagues describe me as…

Grounded, thoughtful, and purposeful. I’m known for helping clients turn emotional awareness into clear action steps and for creating calm, structured sessions where confidence grows.

Outside of the therapy room

Reading a fictional novel, going to the gym, trying new places to eat, and spending quality time with friends and family. I identify as a Nigerian Muslim woman and this informs my holistic, culturally informed approach to therapy—honoring social, financial, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cultural parts of life.
