I enjoy bow hunting, fishing, canning, refinishing furniture, playing with my kids and animals. In 2021, my family relocated from Ketchikan, Alaska to this area. While in Alaska, we enjoyed fishing (shrimp, crab, halibut, salmon), hiking, and camping/hunting trips (Sitka black-tailed deer and black bear).

Behavioral health, addiction medicine and aesthetics

I became and nurse in 2002, in 2013 received my Family Nurse Practitioner certification. My experience ranges from women’s health, aesthetics, family practice, walk-in clinic, ER, wound care and most recently behavioral health. I look forward to meeting patients where they are and walking beside them on their behavioral health journey. I am proud to be part of an organization that places the mental health needs of our community as a top priority. My husband and I have 1 daughter (5) and 1 son (10), Chief a yellow lab, Frosty lab mix rescue, Mooster the Rooster and bunch of hens.
