I have been a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) since 2009. I  became a Registered Nurse (RN) in 1978 and worked in many different areas of medicine. I am also a Psychotherapist, graduating from Naropa University in 1997.

I regard people as inherently healthy and whole and encourage them to see themselves that way. This holistic approach frames our work together. We determine if  medication is the best choice for you. I provide follow up appointments and ongoing care. I practice both Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Hakomi Therapy.

I worked as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Mental Health Partners and at the Johnson Depression Center at the University of Colorado. I enjoy mentoring  NP students and really enjoy the connection and educational facets of those relationships.

I am in a loving relationship. I enjoy being outdoors and active, gardening, reading and being with friends and family.
