02 · In Dr.'s own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My approach is client-centered and strength-based. It centers on helping clients develop self-love, discover purpose, and build resilience through challenging transitions. With expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and grief, I offer a warm, culturally responsive therapeutic space that honors each person's unique journey.
My background includes working with diverse populations, particularly supporting individuals experiencing adoption challenges, multicultural challenges, caregiver stress, and life transformations. I'm deeply committed to creating an affirming environment where clients can explore personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, strengthen self-esteem, and move towards emotional wellness. Whether you're processing life changes, working through personal challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

03 · What happens next
Dr. practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Dr.'s own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Dr. at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Dr. is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Dr..
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Dr. actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Dr.'s - Dr. has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Yoruba. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.
