About My Clients
My patients tend to share a few things in common: a healthy skepticism of quick fixes, a sense that conventional psychiatry has offered them something too narrow, and a readiness to do the harder work of understanding what is actually keeping them stuck. They are not looking to be managed. They are looking for a partner. If that sounds like you, we should talk.
My Background and Approach
My path to psychiatric practice ran through emergency nursing and sexual assault nurse examination—experiences that gave me a deep appreciation for human resilience and a frustration with systems that too often fail the people inside them. I trained as a PMHNP at Vanderbilt University, completed advanced training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through The Ketamine Training Center, and hold certifications in psychedelic-assisted therapy and integrative psychiatry through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. In practice, I draw from a broad range of tools always in service of the same goal: helping you build enough capacity so that deeper, more meaningful work becomes possible. Beginning in August 2026, my practice will be located at Elsewhere Wellness in Minneapolis—a clinic built around the belief that connection is the foundation of wellbeing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in Care—not as a courtesy, but as a clinical imperative. The therapeutic relationship is not a backdrop; it is the work itself. Nursing taught me this long before I ever encountered psychedelic medicine: that the whole person is the unit of care, and that being truly seen and heard by another human being is itself healing. Years of experience as a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provider deepened that conviction—I have witnessed firsthand what becomes possible when people feel genuinely met. I also believe that most of us are doing the best we can inside systems that were never designed with our well-being in mind. Struggling inside a broken system is not a personal failure. My role is not to judge how you got here. It is to help you figure out where you want to go.
