Here’s How I Can Help

  • Psychiatric Evaluations

    Starting with the right diagnoses matters. I offer thorough psychiatric evaluations where we'll explore what's really going on, discuss your history, and create a personalized treatment plan together that makes sense for your life. You'll leaveunderstanding your diagnoses and feeling hopeful about the path forward.

  • Medication Management

    Finding the right medication shouldn't feel like guesswork. I offer flexible appointment lengths (20, 40, or 60 minutes) so there's actually time for me to listen to your personal story,  to adjust your treatment plan accordingly, and to answer all your questions.

  • Psychiatric DNA GeneSight Testing

    If you've struggled with medications in the past, I also offer psychiatric GeneSight genetic testing—a simple test that shows how your body specifically metabolizes different types of psychiatricmedications, taking some of the trial-and-error out of the process.

My Specialties

  • ADHD

    If your mind feels like it's constantly racing, you can't seem to stay organized no matter how hard you try, you get distracted often, have difficulty starting tasks or completing them, or you're exhausted from working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up, I’m here to help. ADHD treatment isn't one-size-fits-all, and we'll work together to find the right combination of medication, strategies, and support.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

    If you or your child has been diagnosed with autism, or you're wondering if autism might explain ongoing challenges with social communication, sensory sensitivities, or navigating a world that wasn't built for neurodivergent people–I provide evaluations and support across the lifespan. I work with children, teens, and young adults to address co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep issues.

  • Trauma & PTSD

    Trauma doesn't always look the way people expect. Sometimes it's nightmares, mood swings, and flashbacks. Sometimes it's feeling numb or disconnected. Sometimes it's just this constant sense that something bad is about to happen. Whatever your experience, I provide trauma-informed medication management and support that may help improve your trauma symptoms. I also offer referrals to therapists who specialize in trauma therapy.

  • Depression, Anxiety & Mood Disorders

    When depression, anxiety or OCD take over, your days can feel hopeless, basic tasks can feel overwhelming and you can struggle to function. I treat mood disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and OCD with a combination of medication and support to help  you not just survive, but actually start enjoying your life again.

  • Insomnia & Sleep Issues

    Sleep problems often go hand-in-hand with other mental health conditions. We'll address and help manage what's keeping you up at night–whether that's racing thoughts, struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, nightmares, early morning wakening or something else entirely.

What Makes My Practice Different

You'll actually get time with me. I'm not double-booking or rushing through appointments. When you schedule with me, you get the time you need—whether that's 20 minutes for a quick check-in or a full hour for you to talk, and bring up all your concerns.

I accept most insurance plans. I want treatment to be accessible for you. I'm in-network with most major insurance carriers, Medicare, Medicaid, Medica, and TriCare. I also offer sliding scale fees based on income for those who need it.

We can start right away. You don't have to wait weeks or months to be seen. Whether you prefer meeting in person, or connect with me from home via secure video appointments both options are available.

Is this practice right for me?

I work with children (ages 4 and up), adolescents, young adults and adults who are dealing with:

  • ADHD and executive functioning challenges

  • Trauma, PTSD, or past experiences that still affect them today

  • Depression or persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness

  • Anxiety, panic, or constant worry

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

  • Bipolar disorder or mood swings that disrupt daily life

  • Sleep problems and insomnia

  • Other mental health concerns

You might be a good fit for my practice if:

  • You're looking for a provider who goes beyond diagnosis and treats you with a holistic approach, including monitoring labs, and offering some integrative supplemental options for management.

  • You want someone who spends more time listening to you, who truly cares, and has time to hear what is going on.

  • You're open to medication options and learning some skills as tools for healing.

  • You live in or around Willmar, Minnesota, or anywhere in the state of Minnesota (for telehealth)
