Having a background in substance use disorders and working at the VA means I have a great deal of experience working with individuals psychotic disorders. If you have schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder I will work with you to challenge and manage delusional thoughts and hallucinations to improve your ability to function in daily life. We will work together to find ways to manage hallucinations and delusions without letting these experiences dominate your life.

Losing touch with reality is more complicated than just trying to realign oneself with the external environment. To understand this experience, one must work to appreciate the subjective realities that illuminate these challenges.

Rochester is a mid-sized Minnesota city whose entire character and economy are defined by the Mayo Clinic—one of the world's most famous and comprehensive medical institutions—and the mental health landscape here is unlike almost any other city of comparable size, shaped by the needs of a huge medical workforce, international patients and their families, and a community organized around the pursuit of medical excellence. Mayo Clinic's own behavioral health and psychiatry programs are among the most sophisticated in the world, and the city's medical culture creates both extraordinary resources and particular kinds of stress—caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, the emotional weight of working with critically ill patients, and the psychological challenges of being far from home for patients receiving long-term care. A private therapy sector serves the permanent population and medical workforce, and demand for therapists who understand the specific stresses of high-performance medical careers is consistently high. Common therapy concerns include caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue, medical professional identity and well-being, patient and family adjustment during extended treatment, anxiety, and the particular loneliness of patients and families who have traveled from around the world to receive care far from their support networks.
