My Approach
Healing from trauma isn't about forgetting — it's about integrating your experiences so they no longer control your present. I create a safe container where your nervous system can learn to feel safe again, at your own pace.

Client Testimonials
"I was skeptical about EMDR, but Dr. Okafor made me feel safe enough to try it. The nightmares that haunted me for years are gone. I can talk about what happened without spiraling. She gave me my life back."
— J.L.
"As a first responder, asking for help felt impossible. Dr. Okafor understood that without me having to explain it. She's worked with people like me and it shows. I'm sleeping through the night for the first time in three years."
