I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have worked in the mental health and recovery field for more than 30 years. I became a nurse in 2010, and completed my Masters of Nursing at Gonzaga University in 2016.

As a neurodivergent lesbian with over 35 years of recovery myself, I am committed to making sure patients feel heard, seen and valued for all of who they are in this moment, and helping them become more of who they strive to be. I have an interest in working with many diverse populations, especially LGBTQ, military veterans, children and older adults.

I enjoy spending time with my wife and our four adult sons. I like to read, hike and spend time at our off-the-grid ranch that we built from the ground up.
