About me

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and other life challenges. For those who desire it, I also provide faith-based counseling from a Christian perspective. I believe each person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet individual needs and goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will begin with brief introductions and then discuss the specific challenges you are experiencing. This process allows me to gain a better understanding of your goals and to develop a tailored plan that we can work through together in future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist, I believe building rapport is key to a strong therapeutic alliance. It helps create a professional bond that fosters trust, empathy, collaboration, and shared decision-making.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, each presenting with unique challenges to explore in session. My clients are motivated to develop and strengthen coping skills that they can apply as needed. I provide individualized support based on each person’s circumstances and conduct ongoing assessments to monitor progress and guide treatment.

She was fully present, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel genuinely heard. Her calming voice helped ease my anxiety, allowing me to relax and open up more than I expected. I left the session feeling lighter and truly seen. I will be booking her again.

i have known Kemi for several years now, and i find her to be an empathetic listener who is able to glean the kernel of what i have been trying to say not very well in 1000 words. her insights are well defined and kind. i absolutely am so glad she is in my life, even if 1000+ miles away.
