I have always disliked those “tell us about yourself paragraphs.”I didn’t like doing it when I had a bit part in a high school musical (which, just to be clear, is not THE High School Musical)…I still don’t like doing it now.The only thing that kept me from starting this page off with a picture of Napoleon Dynamite talking about “great skills” is my fear of being punished for copyright infringement.
There’s a reasonable likelihood, if you are on this page, that you have already seen me in the clinic.I’m pretty sure I don’t have top billing for anything on Google.
I graduated from North High School in Davenport, went to Coe College in Cedar Rapids, and then went to medical school at the University of Iowa.I did a masters in public health and in health adminstration in between my 2nd and 3rd year of med school.I graduated medical school in 2011 and completed my residency in family medicine and psychiatry at the University of Iowa in 2016.I practiced a little bit at the Abbe Center for Community Mental Health, at Genesis in Davenport, and at Mercy in Iowa City before settling down to my current position trying to be a one-woman show.
I am a buprenorphine prescriber and a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP-II), and a significant portion of my practice is focused on integrated trauma treatment including physical health care, psychiatric medication management, and psychotherapy.
