Bio
I received my BA from the University of Chicago. I completed medical school here at the University of Minnesota. I completed my psychiatry residency in general psychiatry from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, and my fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry from Boston Children's Hospital (Harvard Medical School), Boston, where I was Chief Fellow. I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist with a focus on consultation-liaison psychiatry, mood and anxiety disorders, and developing new clinical programs for children with coexisting physical and psychiatric illnesses. Within the department, I am a member of the Advocacy Committee.
