LWG Clinical Director
I was born in Nigeria but I have been a resident of Maryland for the last 15 years. My work experience in mental health started as a personal care staff in a group home for individuals with autism while enrolled in nursing school. It was a rewarding experience for me so I decided to focus on mental health after my graduation. I worked as a psychiatric nurse in a forensic unit for 8 years after graduating college. I also have four years of experience as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient unit of a community hospital.
I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Doctorate degree in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing in 2018. Since my graduation, I have been providing psychiatric evaluation and medication management in community-based settings. I have extensive clinical experience working with the pediatric population and older adults. My clinical experience over the years encompasses diverse clinical settings and that has contributed greatly to my wealth of knowledge. I believe the best clinical outcomes are achieved through a collaborative approach that actively engages the client in the development of a treatment plan.
