About

Biography

I’m a child and adolescent psychiatrist specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression. My care approach is holistic, considering biological, psychological and social factors and personalizing care to my patient’s needs.

My interest in this work stems from my experience with mentors in medical school and during residency. I learned to prioritize the social determinants of health and how they impact behavior. My care is evidence-based and empathetic. As a researcher, I focus on treatment-resistant depression and ADHD, particularly in autism spectrum disorder.

It’s my honor to have received various awards, including the Junior Investigator Award and a research grant Pilot Award from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), a recognition award Howard Rome Research Award from the Mayo Clinic, and the Harold Lawn Teacher of the Year Award from the University of Minnesota. I was nominated and served as a Resident Fellow Member Trustee on the American Psychiatric Association’s Board of Trustees.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy going on hikes and being outdoors. I love spending time with my family and enjoying a good cup of coffee.
