Professional interests:

- Behavioral health
I am a board-certified physician, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. My professional interests include mental health, diagnostic assessments and medication management.
Hometown: Born in South Dakota and raised in rural Minnesota.
Best part of my work: I enjoy listening to people's stories and every one is different. Every child and teen has strengths and areas of concern.
Why I became a physician: I love working with people and trying to help and support them. I especially enjoy children and teenagers--it's fun to watch them develop and grow. They are usually very resilient.
How I spend my free time: Family time, birds, gardening, canoeing, exploring national and state parks, reading, cooking and entertaining.
What patients say about me: People see me as calm and patient. I work hard to stay on time for appointments and always answer phone calls. Kids like my toys and tootsie pops!
Favorite health tip: Stay active.
Practice philosophy: I see myself as part of a team, working with the patients I see. It is important to be involved with the school, primary care physician, therapist and parents to provide the best care.
