I see adults and children ages 9 and up — men, women, and people of all genders — across Minnesota including Golden Valley, Plymouth, Rochester, St.
You have been told it is anxiety. Or that you just need to try harder. Maybe you have been in therapy a long time, and it helps — but something still does not fit. Maybe you have always managed, until recently when managing started costing you everything. You are not broken. You may simply have never had the right psychiatric evaluation. I specialize in ADHD evaluation and treatment via telehealth across Minnesota — serving patients who have been waiting years for an answer that finally makes sense.

I work with children, adults, and overwhelmed parents struggling in ways that no longer make sense, helping uncover what is happening and why.
Many of the cases I see involve children, adolescents, and adults with overlapping healthcare concerns, especially when the full picture is messy. My background as both a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner allows me to look at how everything is interacting rather than separating medical and mental health concerns into different boxes.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
