PHILOSOPHY

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner with a decade of experience working within diverse clinical settings. I have partnered with individuals and families experiencing a myriad of mental and physical challenges, developing deep empathy for the human experience in all of its complexity. I work collaboratively with each patient to create a personalized care plan, integrating evidence-based practices with integrative and complementary approaches.

​

I respect the fluidity of life's transitions and uphold autonomy, meeting each person where they are at any given time. I embrace diversity and am honored to help others find answers, healing, and hope.  

​

While I work with individuals across the lifespan experiencing diverse mental health conditions, I have unique expertise in hormone-mediated mood disorders and perinatal and postpartum mental health issues. In addition to my expertise in women's integrative mental health, I am particularly interested in trauma recovery, particularly for those in the medical profession, law enforcement, the military, and first responders facing PTSD and burnout. Recognizing these individuals' unique challenges and stressors, I provide a safe and understanding space to seek compassionate assistance.

BIO

I have called Oregon my home for over 25 years. I'm always on the hunt for a wonderful latte, the perfect pastry, or a yummy organic salad. I firmly believe you cannot own too many hoodies, and plants should have names in my house. Farmers markets are the BEST, and I will go to almost any concert for the sake of good company. I am a mom to six amazing humans, owner and spoiler of two comical bulldogs (a Frenchie named Bentley and an English bulldog named Boo). Whenever I get a chance, I love to roam and explore, always looking for a warm spot next to the ocean or a brilliant mountain trail. No matter what anyone says, shooting stars are magical, and you are never too old to make mud pies.
