Psychiatric care for adolescents and adults

I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach to mental health care. That means partnering collaboratively with you to identify your unique needs and goals.

While medications can play an important role in treatment, they’re not the only option. I guide patients through an informed decision-making process to ensure comfort and understanding.

Your experiences are deeply individual, and I tailor care to honor and support each patient's journey toward wellness.

About me

I am board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) across the lifespan by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Bemidji State University and completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree at the University of Minnesota, specializing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I commonly treat:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • PTSD/trauma-related disorders

  • ADHD

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Borderline personality disorder

Controlled substances are prescribed only when clinically appropriate and after a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Not all patients will require or be prescribed controlled medications. Telehealth services are provided in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations, and certain medications may require in-person evaluation, ongoing monitoring, coordination of care, or additional clinical documentation prior to prescribing. Treatment decisions are individualized and based on medical necessity, safety, and evidence-based practice.

Professional organizations:

  • International Society of Substance Use Professionals (ISSUP)

  • International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (ISPN), Police, Treatment, and Community Collaborative (PTACC)

  • Rome Consensus 2.0 initiative
