About

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I earned my Masters Social Work Degree from Fordham University, NY, Master Degree Substance Abuse Counseling from Pace University, NY. In addition, I received my Masters Psychology Degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. I am a good listener, empathetic, and non-judgmental towards my patients. I ensure every individual leaves the clinic feeling satisfied and motivated. I have good critical thinking skills when making diagnoses and developing treatment plans. I utilize Patient-Centered, Evidence-Based Practice and select the appropriate therapeutic approach to provide individual psychotherapy, crisis therapy, and family therapy when indicated. I believe in empowering patients with collaborative therapy to facilitate dialogues that lead to positive change. I specialize in patients with Co-Occurring Disorders by addressing mental health conditions, alcohol and drug addiction, a holistic approach.
