She is deeply committed to helping individuals gain understanding and practical tools to support their everyday well-being. Her previous work in mental health and community clinic settings shapes a trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming approach, with extensive experience supporting individuals from marginalized communities, including the LGBTQIA+ community.
When she’s not in the clinic, Dr. Hulsing can be found raising her spirited children, racing in triathlons, playing drums in a new wave-bluegrass-rock band, and exploring the many beautiful natural wonders of Minnesota — all of which shape the grounded, resilient, and inquisitive approach she brings to patient care.
