She is excited to work with the Ibisanmi Relational Health team to provide a healing space for our communities. This work gives her the opportunity to help and empower individuals, couples, and families to mend and strengthen their relationships with themselves and others. She considers her work as a family therapist a calling. Therapy with her will be collaborative and grounded in a Multicultural Relational Perspective – an approach that addresses the hidden wounds of marginalization, oppression, and stigma. She also integrates methods and interventions that emphasize the role of family and intimate relationships in psychological health, disrupts …unhealthy communication and behavioral patterns, and work toward a healing and fulfilling life.Ibisanmi is a Yoruba word that means "being born fits me."
