Being Seen From Valley City
Valley City is in eastern North Dakota, a long way from my office in Minot, and winter roads make a long drive harder still. That makes telehealth the practical way in. Your evaluation can happen from home, without the drive.
I came to this work through nursing, across long-term care and psychiatric settings, and I am now a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I see teens 13 to 17, young adults, adults and seniors, including new mothers and healthcare workers. I treat anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD and bipolar disorders, with perinatal mental health as my primary specialty and a particular interest in later life.
What a Telehealth Evaluation Is Like
It is the same 60 to 90 minute conversation, held from your own space.
What You Need
Somewhere private where you won't be overheard, so you can talk freely and say what you need to say.
The Same Ground Covered
We go through what brought you in, your history, your life right now and what you want care to look like. Being at home does not shorten it.
Your Pace and Your Words
You don't need the right vocabulary. You can say "I'd rather not get into that today" at any point, or stop and ask why I am asking.
A Plan Before We Finish
You end the evaluation with a plan you had a hand in making and a next appointment already set.

Follow-Up Sessions
Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes and cost $125. We look at how things have gone and decide together what to keep or change.
The Minot Office Is There Too
Being seen from home is a choice, not a rule. If you would rather meet in person, you can ask about coming to my office at 700 Western Ave SW, Suite 100. It is the same practice and the same provider, since I am the one you see at every visit.
Wherever you sit, we work toward the same things: a clearer picture of what may be going on, a plan you agree with, and care that keeps your overall wellness in view. How quickly anything changes differs from person to person, so I don't put a timeline on it.
Fees in Brief
The 15-minute phone consult costs nothing, and each follow-up session is $125. The initial evaluation is $300 at the office or from home.
