Hi, I’m Tolu
Somatic therapist in Houston, TX and virtually throughout Texas and Washington
I am a daughter, friend, sister, and student of life. I’ve been shaped by my West African heritage while balancing being an eldest daughter of first generation immigrants.
I support high achieving BIPOC and 1st and 2nd generation immigrants using somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, and person centered modalities. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling empowered, embodied, and equipped to move through complexities of life.
My Approach
To Therapy
I approach therapy through the lens that each client is a walking ecology—a complex, interconnected system shaped by relationships, environments, and experiences.
Ecology, at its core, is the study of interrelationships, and as humans, we are not isolated beings. We are deeply impacted by the people, land, spirit, and systems that surround us.
Our identities and ways of being are shaped by family lineage, the communities we come from, the resources we have (or lack), and even the unspoken traumas passed down through generations—manifesting as survival strategies.
My goal in therapy is to help clients expand their awareness of these connections, recognizing how their relationships and histories inform the way they navigate the world. Through this understanding, we can create space for healing, growth, and intentional change.
My values
Compassion
Healing takes time. The process is SLOW, and it’s essential to create space for self-kindness, especially when confronting parts of ourselves that bring up discomfort or pain. Compassion is the foundation that allows us to move through this work with grace.
Collaboration
You are the expert of your own experience. My role is not to dictate your journey but to walk alongside you, offering support and guidance as you navigate healing on your terms.
Curiosity
A spirit of curiosity sustains the therapeutic journey. Judgment often creeps in, creating barriers to growth, but curiosity invites us to explore, understand, and ultimately meet the healed parts of ourselves with openness and acceptance.
