Bunkola was born in Nigeria, raised in Toronto, Ontario. She moved to Edmonton Alberta to complete her Masters in Social Work- Clinical Specialization – at the University of Calgary. She is a mother of two and has been working as a Mental Health Therapist for over three years.

Bunkola is cognizant that therapy is a joint process and encourages the individuals she works with to be the guiding force behind the desired change and healing effort. She believes that people are experts in their own lives and that they possess latent strengths to combat challenges impacting their mental health. Bunkola’s practice is founded upon the idea that the journey to healing begins with a step, cultivating trusting relationships, and holding space for unique stories of youth, adults, and families.
