A Bit About Me (Because the Relationship Matters)​​

​

• I’m a PMHNP with degrees from UC–Santa Barbara, Linfield College, and Frontier Nursing University.

• I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms, but the story behind them.

• I’m raising two daughters who keep me humble, curious, and laughing daily.

• The Columbia River Gorge (especially Mosier) is my happy place — paddleboard in tow.

• I love eating out and consider myself a bit of a foodie.

• I have a minor obsession with rats — they’re brilliant, social, and wildly underrated.

• I unwind with true crime documentaries, Thorns games, or a good book.

• I’m not afraid of awkward pauses, big emotions, or messy conversations.

• I believe people are capable of incredible growth — even when life feels stuck.

My Approach to Treatment

​

I focus on helping you feel better in a way that lasts. That means:

• Comprehensive, root-cause assessments — so we understand what’s really going on.

• Safe, effective medication management — with clear plans and no guesswork.

• Therapy-style support — flexible, practical, and tailored to your needs.

• Working sessions — not just venting, but insight, tools, and next steps.

• Ongoing feedback — because your experience matters, and we’ll adjust as needed.

I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, celebrate your wins, and remind you that you’re not alone. No topic is off-limits, and no concern is “too small” if it matters to you.
