Welcome to Mind Works

Where you can find True Healing

I empower patients that are motivated for treatment who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and bipolar spectrum disorders learn how to regulate their emotions, find pleasure in the little things, and live their best life. I do this by taking the time to Truly Listen and offer a personalized integrative treatment plan including medications, supplements, therapy, and lifestyle coaching. I also specialize in working with healthcare workers who are struggling with burnout.

I am currently accepting new patients

Now offering in person appointments on Wednesdays in Vadnais Heights

My services

  • Medication Management

    Integrative psychiatry doesn’t mean anti-medication. My goal is to assist you in finding the most effective medication regimen that improves your well-being without causing unnecessary side effects.

  • Psychotherapy

    In my therapy approach, I draw from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Spiritual Psychotherapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. I prioritize actively listening to your story and understanding your experiences.

  • Lifestyle Coaching

    The best medication regimen in the world won't be effective if your sleep, nutrition, or exercise habits aren't supporting your mental health.

  • Herbal and Plant-Based Medicine

    Using herbal medicines, foods, and nutritional supplements, including vitamins and minerals, either alone or alongside conventional medication, can contribute to achieving optimal treatment outcomes.

  • Genetic Testing

    By utilizing genetic testing, I can assess how you metabolize and react to specific medications, enabling us to personalize and optimize your medication regimen accordingly.

  • Mind- Body Medicine

    I can guide you in utilizing meditation and mindfulness techniques to stabilize your mood and navigate the natural ebb and flow of emotions that are inherent to our human experience.

“Whether an illness affects your heart, your arm, or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there shouldn’t be any distinction. We would never tell someone with a broken leg that they should stop wallowing and get it together. We don’t consider taking medication for an ear infection something to be ashamed of. We shouldn’t treat mental health conditions any differently. Instead, we should make it clear that getting help isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a sign of strength.”
— Michelle Obama
