Pronouns:  she/her/hers

Goodness can life be hard! While knowing that each of us experience difficulties in different ways throughout our lives, a few things that I believe can buffer some of life’s challenges include kindness, relationship, and self-care. I am glad that you are here seeking support, and I would be honored to be a part of your support system if that feels helpful. My primary role is to discuss and prescribe medications that may support you physiologically and therefore emotionally. The decision is yours as to whether this approach feels helpful in your course of treatment. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you.

A little bit about my professional background:

I worked as a RN for 21 years prior to completing my Master of Science in Nursing program through the University of Colorado. As a RN, I worked in a variety of community health and psychiatric settings (both inpatient and outpatient), including employment at Childrens Hospital Colorado, Aurora Public Schools, a non-profit providing in-home visits to pregnant/newly parenting moms, and as a hospice assessment nurse. One of my favorite employment experiences was serving as nursing faculty at a local university. Being an educator was incredibly life-giving and meaningful for me. In 2006, I obtained my Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, which has added additional expertise to my work as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

I am passionate about social justice, issues of equity, and advocating for minority, underserved populations. People know me to be warm, kind, and compassionate, qualities that are incredibly important to me in my work and relationships. It would be an honor to support you. Please reach out with any questions.

Please Note: I provide only medication management at this time via telehealth. I am not providing ongoing therapy. If you are interested in mental health therapy, please contact us to schedule an appointment with our therapist. Thanks!
