I serve adults and children ages 9 and up across all of Minnesota — including rural communities in Greater Minnesota where psychiatric care has historically been impossible to access.
You have spent years being told you are too sensitive, too scattered, or just anxious. Maybe you have been in therapy for a long time, and it helps, but something still does not fit. Maybe you are a high-functioning woman in your 30s or 40s who has always managed — until recently, when managing started costing you everything. Or maybe your mood, your focus, or your sleep shifted in ways nobody has been able to explain. You are not broken. You may simply have never had the right evaluation. I specialize in women's mental health — ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the psychiatric changes that come with perimenopause and postpartum.

Life gets overwhelming. Tasks pile up, relationships strain, and somewhere along the way, you lose your footing. Anxiety, depression, and mood swings that don't make sense, or the feeling that you're falling short, no matter how hard you try.

You might have tried getting help before and left feeling more alone than when you started. Like your words landed nowhere. Here, your words don't just land. They matter. Mental health touches everything. Getting support isn't giving up. It's the opposite.

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.
