Mandi earned her bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Military History from the University of Utah. She has worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, with experience ranging from memory care to residential treatment. She taught history for several years in a psychiatric lockdown facility for teenagers.

Since moving to South Dakota she had gained extensive experience in administering Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy. Mandi has been involved in direct patient care and TMS treatment delivery for over 8 years.

Mandi’s philosophy with TMS is to treat the whole person, recognizing that TMS is only one part of a comprehensive approach to mental health. She encourages patients to support their brain health during the course of treatment through regular physical activity, restorative sleep, good nutrition, and addressing physical pain. Mandi firmly believes that talk therapy is a valuable component to better mental health and healing in conjunction with TMS.

Outside of the office Mandi loves training and competing in triathlons and swimming competitions. She also enjoys hiking and exploring the Black Hills with her husband and dog.
