I grew up in Houston, Texas, identifying as an athlete for most of my life. Football was my world, it shaped my identity, gave me structure, and instilled in me the relentless drive to succeed. As a Black man raised by a strong single mother, I understand firsthand the weight of responsibility, the expectation to excel, and the pressure to push forward no matter what. But when a life changing injury ended my football career, I was forced to redefine my purpose and confront the deeper questions of who I was beyond the game.

That journey led me to therapy, self-exploration, and ultimately, healing. I learned that my worth wasn’t tied to performance or achievement. I leaned into mindfulness, yoga, and somatic therapy, discovering the power of rest, self-compassion, and embodiment. Now, as a certified yoga instructor and somatic therapist, I help others break free from the cycles of stress, trauma, and generational patterns that keep them stuck. I specialize in working with athletes, men navigating identity and mental health challenges, and parents, especially single parents who are overwhelmed by work demands and struggling to find balance. My approach is culturally informed and decolonized, meaning I don’t rigidly adhere to outdated psychological frameworks that don’t honor our lived experiences. I bring my full, authentic self into the therapy room expressive, humorous, and unmasked holding space for you to do the same.

Together, we’ll explore the trauma stored within your mind and body, reconnect you with your authentic self, and develop practical tools for healing and growth. My goal is to help you break generational cycles, show up as your whole self, and move from surviving to thriving.

Life rarely fits into neat little boxes, and neither do our paths to growth and healing. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or seeking deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey. I'm particularly passionate about supporting men who are ready to dive deeper into understanding themselves, knowing that many of us weren't given the tools to explore our emotional worlds or question society's rigid expectations.

In our work together, I bring over a decade of experience in social services and a therapy style that's collaborative, warm, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. Whether you're coming in as an individual or with your partner(s), we'll create a space where all parts of you are welcome; your questions, your struggles, your hopes, and your whole authentic self. I believe you know yourself best, and my role is to help you enhance your own insights and abilities while navigating toward your aspirations.

My own transformative journey through therapy has shown me the profound impact of feeling truly seen and understood. It changed how I show up in my relationships and helped me recognize the personal and cultural factors that shape us all. Now, I'm deeply committed to offering that same space for exploration and growth to others. Let's work together to help you move from feeling stuck to feeling alive, connected, and empowered in your life and relationships.

I am most passionate working with teens and adults who live outside the box and don’t quite fit into what society deems the "majority". You might identify as 2SLGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodiverse, non-monogamous, an empath, spiritual, disabled, chronically ill, fat, kinky, sex worker, etc. Oftentimes, we are shamed for not coloring within the fragile lines society has boxed us in and are left feeling frustrated, lost, and alone. This marginalization can impact us in traumatic ways, sometimes ways we aren’t even aware of. I’m here to make space for you outside that box so you can freely color outside the lines.

Therapy works best when we bring our real selves to the room and build a meaningful relationship. We’ll explore your world and discover the roadblocks preventing you from creating the life you desire. I’ll challenge you with new perspectives, empower you through knowledge & encouragement, and serve as your guide to self-acceptance and values-based living.

Inside the therapy room, I am playful, authentic, curious, open-minded, and most importantly–human! As a fellow human who also colors outside the lines, it can be a real struggle to find a therapist who truly understands. My room is the place to free the wild in you, embrace your roots, and be unapologetically you. So kick your shoes off and let's dig in!

I wear multiple hats in my day to day, and balancing these roles has shown me firsthand how overwhelming and exhausting life can be. As a Nigerian immigrant raised with a strong emphasis on hard work and excellence, I understand the pressure to always perform at your best. But that constant drive led me to burnout and a deep sense of disconnection.

Feeling like I didn’t fully belong—whether it was not being “Black” enough in America or not Nigerian enough in Africa—left me searching for my identity. I leaned on perfectionism to define my worth, chasing success that never felt like enough. It wasn’t until I sought therapy and embraced my faith that I found true healing—and most importantly, rest. I learned that I am enough, without needing to prove or achieve anything. Now, I simply allow myself to just be.

My goal is to help you move from just surviving to thriving. If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, guilt for taking breaks, or disconnected from yourself and others, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a customized therapy plan tailored to your experiences and goals, using tools like CBT, attachment-based work, and somatic mindfulness. With my culturally informed approach, I aim to help you reclaim your identity, find peace, and live a balanced, fulfilling life.

I practice decolonized counseling, which simply means, I do not fully subscribe to the ancient, irrelevant, and overly formal ways of the dead white forefathers of psychology. I will always bring my full, authentic self into the room—expressive, humorous, and unmasked. My pride in my heritage shapes how I hold space for clients as they reconcile their cultural values and decide who they want to be, free from societal expectations. My goal is to empower you to embrace your whole self with grace, understanding, and empathy.
