To prospective clients: I applaud you for taking the first step. Because of your bravery, I will take the second step to hear and see you. We can then work together to make you the best version of yourself that you want to be.

I see my role as helping people navigate a relationship with the world and themselves that is more joyful and less constrained. Many of my patients have tried a variety of self help strategies or previous therapy with varying degrees of success and disappointment by the time they call me. My approach is to take a step back and try to understand you and your life in more detail and depth in order to help us build a more comprehensive and lasting solution to your troubles.

I decided to pursue medicine and specialize in psychiatry because I love talking to people about their life experiences. I treat adults experiencing the full spectrum of mental illness, and I also enjoy working with reproductive-age women who are navigating trying to conceive, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.

I received my medical degree from Des Moines University and completed my psychiatry residency at the University of Chicago. My care is centered around children and adults, and I have a strong background in eating disorders and children. I enjoy partnering and collaborating with each patient, using my medical training, their knowledge of themselves and their life experience to strategize the right path to healing.

Welcome to Murphy Mental Health. Some of the things I can help with include: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and depression. I work together with my patients on improving wellness by listening and providing options rather than just telling someone what to do. I address care in a holistic manner, integrating use of therapy, positive lifestyle changes, traditional psychiatric medications, supplements and genetic testing-as appropriate.
