With over 12 years of psychiatric experience, including practice at Mayo Clinic and as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Olmsted County Adult Detention, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in anxiety, ADD/ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and stress management, utilizing a patient-centered approach that fosters strong therapeutic relationships, encourages active participation in treatment, reduces stigma, and promotes lasting mental wellness. I am dedicated to serving diverse and underserved populations in a variety of clinical settings.
Through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication prescribing and management, and evidence-based therapy, I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships based on trust, empathy, and collaboration. My goal is to empower patients across the lifespan to build resilience and develop effective coping strategies and overall well-being.
Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where we can work together to help you build resilience, develop effective coping skills, and achieve your mental health goals through personalized therapy and medication management when needed.
