My approach to care:

I began my journey in healthcare by dedicating many years to Emergency Medicine as a Paramedic, before advancing my training and earning my Physician Assistant degree from Loma Linda University in Southern California in 2018. Since then, I have spent five enriching years working in addiction medicine at a residential treatment center in Boulder, Colorado.

In my role, I have had the privilege of supporting adult patients of all ages as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and sleep difficulties. A significant aspect of my work has been empowering patients to simplify their medication regimens—focusing solely on treatments that are truly therapeutic and necessary. I take pride in partnering with individuals to help them achieve this goal, always approaching care with compassion and respect for where they are in their healing journey.

My philosophy centers on addressing the “whole person” rather than just isolated symptoms. This requires taking the time to truly understand a patient’s history and fostering a collaborative partnership between patient and provider. Building these meaningful connections is not only integral to effective care—it is also deeply fulfilling for me.

As a Colorado native, I find joy outside of my professional life skiing with my three children, navigating rivers during peak water flows, and pursuing my creative passion as a blacksmith, crafting artistic architectural metal projects in my workshop.
