About Me

I am originally from Michigan. I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from Grand Valley State University. Prior to joining Kaiser Permanente as an nurse practitioner in 2004, I was with University of Colorado-AF Williams Family Medicine Clinic as a family nurse practitioner.

About my practice

The geropsychiatry program is a consultative service which specializes in comprehensive diagnostic evaluations of behavioral health issues, memory concerns, and assessment regarding current patient functioning that may occur with aging. We are a team of interdisciplinary professionals trained in nursing, social work, psychiatry, and geriatric medicine.When appropriate our evaluation may be completed virtually through a comprehensive chart review by the consulting provider. The goal of the evaluation is to provide the patient, their family, or support system with behavioral management techniques, medication recommendations if needed, and management of any patient specific needs.

How I thrive

I am at peace in the outdoors and enjoy cycling, hiking, skiing, tennis, and running.
