About Me

I graduated with a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from University of Denver. I am passionate about the correlation between mental health and physical health and diet.

About my practice

A Behavior Medicine Specialist or BMS is a licensed psychologist or licensed clinical social worker who works in the medical office building alongside primary care physicians to support your total health. You no longer have to schedule a separate visit in one of our Behavioral Health locations simply to ask questions and determine what you might need. In general, a BMS can screen for mental health and substance use issues, provide short-term appointments to reduce symptoms which may be causing you distress and improve your daily functioning. They are also a great resource to connect you with appropriate services if you need more specialized services, and they will help to coordinate your care so your primary care team members and specialty care providers are working together to provide your care. In many cases, a few appointments with a BMS is all that is required, but if longer-term services are needed, the BMS can assist with the scheduling of an appointment in one of our Specialty Behavioral Health Clinics.

How I thrive

I enjoy running, reading, exploring the Colorado landscape, my dog, and spending time with my husband and friends.
