Biography

I am an Assistant Professor and Director of Student Specialty-Specific Transitions in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences.

I am a licensed adult psychiatrist specializing in device-based treatments and advanced psychopharmacology for severe and resistant mental illness, with a particular focus on treatment-resistant depression.

In my role as the Director of Student Specialty-Specific Transitions in Psychiatry, I aim to guide future psychiatrists along their path from medical student to resident, helping them to make the most of their opportunities available at the University of Minnesota and beginning their psychiatry journey with confidence and competence.

I completed my adult psychiatry residency at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC and a fellowship in consult-liaison psychiatry at George Washington University and the Inova Fairfax Medical Center. Most recently, I completed my fellowship in neuromodulation medicine at the University of Minnesota, where I honed my interest in the clinical application of neuromodulatory interventions such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS).
