Bio

I am a child psychiatrist at the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain. I am a board-certified pediatrician and psychiatrist and am thrilled to have the opportunity to provide care to the children of Minnesota. I earned my MD and MPH from the University of Florida Medical School, and my undergraduate degree in biology is also from the University of Florida. Most recently, I was a Post Pediatric Portal Fellow at Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals of Cleveland in Ohio. I completed my pediatric residency at Hurley Children’s Hospital/Michigan State University in Flint, MI, and a pediatric internship at the University of Florida Health Shands Children’s Hospital in Gainesville. 

In 2017, I was awarded for Outstanding Achievement in Medical Student Education, and in 2016, I was initiated into the Gold Humanism Honor Society and received the United States Health Service Excellence in Public Health Award.

While I see children of all ages, I have a particular interest in early childhood mental health, anxiety disorders, and patients who identify as LGBTQ.
