I specialize in providing comprehensive psychiatric care through telehealth, offering a convenient and confidential way to receive mental health support from the comfort of your own home. My approach is compassionate, patient-centered, and evidence-based care. I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and I am dedicated to working collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
My first session with you will serve as a foundation for building a therapeutic relationship and creating a tailored treatment plan to address your mental health needs including applicable medication management. My goal is to help you achieve mental wellness and improve your quality of life. Whether you are dealing with chronic mental health issues or experiencing new challenges, I am here to support you every step of the way.
I offer empathetic, compassionate care and strive to connect with my clients, listen actively to their concerns, and create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that fosters trust.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on finding solutions to your problems rather than delving deeply into their causes or past experiences. It is future-focused, goal-oriented, and aims to help you discover your strengths and resources to create positive change in your life.
My approach to supportive behavioral treatment combines supportive psychotherapy, behavioral interventions, psychoeducation, and medication management when appropriate. The goal is to help patients improve coping, emotional regulation, daily functioning, and symptom management while strengthening their ability to handle current stressors.

So far she’s has been one of the best that I have worked with in mental health. She truly listens and wants the best for her clients. She remembers details and inspires confidence. I am proud of the progress I have made and I could not have done so without her support :)

This was my first meeting with Uju, and she was very warm and welcoming and did a great job keeping my squirrel brain on task. She asked pointed, direct, easy-to-understand questions and helped me to answer correctly and honestly without leading for specific answers. Within the first 30 minutes of chatting, she says she has a good idea of what is going on and needs my medical records to fully understand the situation and make a diagnosis and medication recommendation. I look forward to our next
