Hi there, I'm Jane!

African-American therapist, educator, and advocate from Nigeria, and author of Children of Divorced Parents. Founder of Elis Family Counseling in Pomona, CA. As a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I help people heal, grow, and celebrate life again.

My focus

My specialties involve clients who need self-esteem building, anxiety reduction, depression relief, strengthening of marriages, anger management, stress management, and relationship management. I also see clients with domestic violence, parenting, and marital issues.

My approach

I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Interventions, Person-Centered Technique, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These techniques are tailored to your specific needs, help reduce anxiety and stress, control destructive behavior, and change into positive behavior.
