How I work

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that “You can”.

My Story.

Someone once said that every man is trying to live up to his father’s expectations or make up for their father’s mistakes. I fall into the latter category…..

As a child, I felt inadequate because my father was absent. Without a male role model, I turned to God as a father figure and relied on God to guide me.

As a teenager, I worked hard to improve myself, which sparked my interest in Theology and Psychology. In 2016, I followed God's calling and moved from Nigeria to the United States to study counseling after completing my bachelor's degree in Psychology.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with a diverse range of clients. I value the chance to collaborate with individuals from different backgrounds, including various races, genders, ages, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs. I have gained experience in different settings and locations, such as Mississippi, Indiana, and Tennessee.

During my four years at Youth Villages, I supported numerous families in living successfully together. I provided targeted therapy to individuals facing challenges related to sexual behavior.

In addition, I partner currently with Lyra Health, a fortune 100 start up company, offering anxiety and depression treatments to employees of major global companies.

I started my practice as a solution for those seeking to integrate their Christian faith into their healing and growth. I provide evidence-based and faith-based counseling practices.

Now, I find joy in a blissful marriage, fatherhood to an incredible daughter and son, and a career that fills me with absolute passion. To God be the glory!

There is light despite all the darkness in the world today

truth & courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.
