What I'm looking for

Seeking a role in a compassionate organization focused on mental health and wellness, where I can utilize my expertise in trauma and evidence-based therapies to support clients in achieving emotional and psychological well-being.

I am a dedicated clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with veterans, active-duty personnel, and diverse populations affected by trauma and mental health issues. My expertise includes diagnosing and treating PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, and women's mental health concerns. I have a strong background in conducting comprehensive psychological assessments and creating personalized treatment plans.

In my current role at Merry Ehanire Mother and Child Hospital, I provide telehealth services, including psychological evaluations and therapeutic interventions for mothers, children, and families. I also collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure holistic care. Additionally, I work with veterans and their families at the Military Hospital in Yaba, focusing on their transition to civilian life and addressing their mental health needs.

My approach is empathetic and client-centered, emphasizing evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT. I am committed to maintaining ethical standards, ensuring confidentiality, and empowering clients with the tools and resources needed for their recovery and well-being.
