Hello, I'm a Nigerian American, Sr. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas with 18 years of professional work experience. I treat music industry professionals and everyday people, who are survivors of Narcissistic Abuse, and other types of emotional and psychological abuse. I also treat clients with partners, siblings, work colleagues, and community leaders who exhibit many characteristics of narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, or antisocial (aka psychopathy) personality disorder traits. Other areas of treatment are listed on our website. I'm also a Therapist for Major Music Artists' World Tours & for the film industry.

I ascribe to a humanistic and psychodynamic approach and philosophy of counseling with some cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) mixed in. I focus on client’s emotions, perspectives, and life experiences, rather than just treating symptoms. I believe incongruence, internalized conditions of worth, and unhealthy core beliefs contribute to emotional and psychological distress. Each client is different, what works for one will not work for all. I use a dynamically informed approach in order to create a treatment plan that is best suited to a client's unique needs and goals.

The ability to love, work, and play lies at the heart of human happiness. With trauma, unresolved conflicts, chronic stress or difficult relationships, this ability is often impeded or diminished. I help my patients regain their strength, discover their true selves, and form authentic connections with their loved ones, resulting in a fulfilling and productive life. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, addiction, personality disorders (particularly borderline and narcissistic), and difficulties relating to others.

I believe that we all experience trauma at some point in our lives whether we recognize it or not. Unaddressed and unprocessed trauma affects all aspects of our lives - school, work, parenting and relationships. Initially, my goal is to help individuals understand and identify trauma and how it impacts everyday living. As the therapeutic process continues, I will aid in creating new healthy pathways of thinking as well as how to react and respond to triggers that result from past traumatic events.
