About Me

I was born in Minnesota and received my medical training at the University of Minnesota Medical School. I then completed my psychiatric residency training at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Afterward, I completed my fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at McAuley Neuropsychiatric Institute in San Francisco, California. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

About my practice

As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I provide psychiatric evaluations and management of psychiatric medication if medication treatment is needed and if desired by the family.
  • Culturally specific care: Caucasian, Latino, African American, Asian 
  • Population specialties: children and adolescents
  • Language capacity: English
  • Areas of focus: In addition to interventions for a range of mental health conditions including depression and anxiety, I have specific skills in mood, ADHD, and autism

How I thrive

I believe that practicing mindfulness and experiencing gratitude are very important for achieving a sense of well-being. Also important are finding opportunities to laugh and fully enjoy the good things in life — including the people around me. Learning from others is something I enjoy and appreciate.
