I strive to create an environment of inclusion, acceptance, equality, and healing for my patients by listening and looking at the individual holistically Originally from Eugene, Oregon, I have worked in healthcare in the Seattle area for over 20 years. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Seattle Pacific University, and, as a Registered Nurse, worked as a Charge Nurse at Swedish Medical Center on a Transplant, Medical/Surgical Unit. I went on to earn a Doctorate degree in Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Washington while also instructing undergraduate Nursing students. My doctoral clinical rotations included LGBTQ focused clinics such as University of Washington’s STD/HIV Prevention Training Center, Queen Anne Medical Associates, Virginial Mason’s Bailey-Boushay House, and Harborview Medical Center’s HIV Madison Clinic. As a Nurse Practitioner (ARNP), I practiced Obesity Medicine at Swedish Weight Loss Services, assisting patients in surgical and non-surgical weight management. I have been named four times (2018-2022) a Seattle Metropolitan Top Nurse Practitioner for Obesity Medicine and Bariatrics. I continue to enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest by camping, backpacking, hiking, and going on motorcycle rides with my husband, Brett. I am excited to bring his holistic nursing background and continue to provide an open, comfortable space for my patients to achieve their health goals.
