Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Chika! over 25 years of invaluable experience in the field of psychiatry. My expertise extends to the comprehensive treatment of various psychiatric disorders, specializing in children, adolescents, and adults. My journey in psychiatric care began in 1998. I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing in 2007 and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in 2019.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a strong leader which has been exemplified by overseeing administrative departments and ensuring the delivery of quality patient care. I act as a liaison between nurses and administrators, fostering a collaborative and effective healthcare environment. I apply the same principle to patient care. I utilize Patient-Centered approach. I treat my patients with respect, dignity and compassion. I establish effective communication, rapport, mutual trust with my patients.

What you can expect from our first session

I know that sometimes finding the right provider can be challenging. When working with me, I tend to use humor to help you relax and I am a firm believer that ongoing collaboration between you and your other doctors plays an active role in your ability to heal. At the end of our sessions, you can expect to have learned more about your illness and the benefits and risks of each potential treatment option. I'll help you make educated decisions on your path forward.
