About me—

As a doctorally trained and board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner educated at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), my approach to care is grounded both in clinical expertise and genuine human connection. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked in residential psychiatric care with children and adolescents experiencing some of the highest levels of psychiatric acuity in the state—experiences that deeply shaped the way I understand emotional suffering, resilience and importance of compassionate care.

I have extensive experience working with pediatric, adolescent, and young adult populations and strive to create a calm, supportive space where patients feel safe asking questions, exploring concerns, and working collaboratively toward meaningful change.
