"As a first-generation Nigerian-American therapist, I’ve walked alongside clients whose stories echo pieces of my own—stories formed at the intersections of culture, faith, and migration. Time and again, three patterns emerge: the silence we were taught to keep, the invisible wounds of immigration, and the spiritual confusion born from unspoken fears. In therapy, I’ve seen that healing doesn’t require abandoning culture—it often begins when we reclaim our voices, honor our pain, and hold both faith and mental wellness with compassion."
