Prior to moving to Colorado, I was an emergency room nurse at Charity hospital in New Orleans. During Hurricane Katrina, I suffered the same fears, doubts, and uncertainty as the patients we cared for during the storm. Loss of home, family and employment on top of every day stressors can feel insurmountable. Through active listening and thoughtful questioning, I aim to deliver the highest quality of care with medication management and introduction to therapy.

When meeting with me, you will feel warmth, empathy, and compassion; I treat the whole person and foster the instillation of hope. I believe everyone is deserving of emotional, physical, and social wellness.
