I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Denver in 2012 and prior to joining the team at UC Health, have provided treatment in a number of settings including university counseling centers, community mental health centers, outpatient hospital clinics, and an independent health psychology practice.  I enjoyed the opportunity to teach at the university level and have co-authored national behavioral health treatment guidelines that help ensure patients receive the best care possible.

As a health psychologist, I have to opportunity to see people who are working to manage concerns such as chronic pain and those who are adjusting to acute or chronic illness.  I work with people who have suffered brain injuries and psychological trauma/PTSD.  Stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as well as burnout and sleep difficulties are concerns reported by many of the people I treat. I am certified in biofeedback interventions targeting stress and pain management.

I am so happy to be part of the team here at the Integrative Medicine Clinic – both my professional training and personal experience highlight the unique benefits of mind-body treatments and the importance of treating the whole person.

I truly love what I do.

When I am away from the office, I enjoy spending time in my garden, fly fishing in the beautiful Colorado mountains, traveling to new places, camping with my family, as well as creative hobbies like photography and pottery.  Running and riding my road bike are some of my favorite ways to enjoy the lovely Colorado climate and yoga is a big part of my personal wellness routine.
