Choosing a mental health provider is an important decision, and I believe the best care begins with feeling heard and understood. I'm a triple board-certified Nurse Practitioner with certifications in Family Practice, Emergency Care, and Psychiatric-Mental Health. My background includes over two decades of experience caring for patients in both emergency medicine and psychiatry, which has given me the opportunity to work with people during some of their most challenging moments.
I founded Kraken Psychiatry because I wanted to create a practice that looks beyond symptoms and diagnoses. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors—including biology, life experiences, relationships, sleep, nutrition, stress, and physical health. My goal is to understand the whole person and help you develop an individualized treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and goals.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, and other complex mental health concerns. I also have a special interest in integrative and precision psychiatry, combining evidence-based psychiatric care with lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and other complementary approaches when appropriate.
Whether you're seeking medication management, looking for answers after years of struggling, or simply hoping to feel like yourself again, my goal is to partner with you and provide compassionate, thoughtful care every step of the way.
I have worked in mental health in a variety of settings for the past 20 years. My practice is evidenced based. I have experience working with children and adults. As a nurse practitioner, my primary focus is medication management.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with focus, or experiencing anxiety, mood changes, or difficulty finding balance, you're not alone—and the right support can make a meaningful difference.
I am a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. My clinical experience includes treating ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, sleep disorders, and eating disorders.
Because of my dual certification, I approach care with the understanding that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. When both are addressed together, individuals are better able to achieve stability, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.
My practice combines clinical expertise, careful observation, and evidence-based guidelines to create individualized treatment plans. I strive to provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care in an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and respected.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rochester
Finding the right psychiatrist in Rochester starts with understanding the kind of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage psychiatric care. Therapists offer talk therapy and other forms of support. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be a good fit. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.
Rochester is a smaller city, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for psychiatrists licensed in Minnesota. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy, with medication management visits that are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details on availability, session structure, specialties, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Rochester can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, may accept your plan, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare bios, choose between in-person and virtual care, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
