Austin, MN
Hospital and Clinic
1000 First Drive NW, Austin, MN 55912Provider's Bio
I love spending time with children and adolescents, listening deeply to their experiences, understanding their inner world and helping them make sense of their emotions. My practice is rooted in the belief that every child has the capacity to thrive when given the right support, understanding and care. My passion is helping young people return to their developmental trajectory and empowering them to become the healthiest, most confident version of themselves. Through thoughtful, long-term care, I build meaningful relationships with patients and families, allowing treatment to evolve dynamically over time and remain holistic, personalized and developmentally informed.
Outside of my practice, I am a mom to two young children who keep life joyful, adventurous and wonderfully busy. As a family, we love spending time outdoors — going on hikes, exploring nature and discovering the beauty of Minnesota’s state parks together. Those moments in nature help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most. I am also a passionate foodie and an enthusiastic home cook who enjoys bringing people together through good food, new flavors and shared experiences around the table.
