I have been working in the mental health field for the past seven years, with a strong foundation in nursing and psychiatric care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2019 and began my career on a behavioral health unit, where I gained extensive experience supporting individuals with both acute and chronic mental health conditions.
In 2024, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing and became a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Over the past two years in advanced practice, I have provided comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing treatment for a wide range of mental health disorders.
My clinical experience includes addiction medicine and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), as well as the management of depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and ADHD. I am committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that promote stability, resilience, and long-term well-being.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing virtual care to adults in Wyoming, Minnesota and Nebraska. I have a background as a registered nurse and advanced practice provider, which allows me to combine strong clinical skills with a practical, down-to-earth approach.
I specialize in ADHD, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, alcohol & substance use, and women’s mental health, including PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause. I work primarily with adults who want thoughtful, individualized care and a provider who looks at the full picture—not just sx or diagnoses.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Minneapolis
Finding the right psychiatrist in Minneapolis starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Both can be useful entry points depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or psych med management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties match what you want to address.
Minneapolis has many psychiatry options across the city and nearby areas, including St. Louis Park, Northeast Minneapolis, Southwest Minneapolis, and the wider Twin Cities. The number of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider practical fit alongside clinical focus, including appointment availability, whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits, and whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s background, care style, and session structure before you book.
Psychiatric care in Minneapolis can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists in Minneapolis who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and many accept insurance, making it easier to find someone who fits your needs, schedule, and plan.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
