Psychiatrists in Minnesota

In my practice, we are currently accepting NEW patients for medication management, therapy, chemical dependency treatment including suboxone. We also provide esketamine/spravato. My interests are varied and include a wide spectrum of disorders, such as major depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, substance use, ADHD and PTSD. I explore the biological, psychological and social components of mental illness and utilize tools and interventions to evaluate and treat my patients, including diagnostic laboratory tests, prescribed medications and coping strategies. We accept most insurances and private pay.

As a nurse practitioner certified in Psychiatry, I believe in providing each patient with holistic, comprehensive care that is effective, efficient, and compassionate. I also believe in a team approach where I collaborate with the patient and other providers to determine a plan that will bring lasting wellness. I am board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and have a special interest and expertise in treating major depression, anxiety, ADHD, and narcotic addiction.
