I received my Bachelors degree in Nursing from Oregon Health Sciences University, and my Masters degree in Nursing from the University of New Mexico.
I specialize in family medicine, with interests in women’s health, gender affirming care (including hormone replacement therapy), and STI testing and prevention (including PrEP).
I enjoy spending time with family and our dog, camping, hiking, and exploring.
Community health care has always been an interest of mine. I grew up in a rural community, and understand the barriers underserved communities face in accessing quality healthcare. Through my work at Unity Care NW, I strive to provide high-quality, easily accessible, and culturally competent care to all individuals with medical needs.

I joined Unity Care NW in November 2021.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition from Arizona State University in 2005, and my DMD from the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health in 2010. I earned a Certificate in Public Health Concepts from A.T. Still University, a university that focuses solely on community health and clinical dentistry. I had my own practice in Blaine for 10 years but left it to pursue a career serving those in greater need of oral health care services.
I enjoy using my skills to help members of our community who wouldn’t otherwise have access to dental care.
My hobbies include snowboarding, playing drums, cooking, gardening, and backpacking.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a Bachelors degree in Nursing in 1985, and an MA in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner in 1996.
I enjoy putting my varied experience into practice at Unity Care Northwest. I worked here permanently and then as a fill-in clinician since 1999.
Community health feels like home and especially so here where I have the good fortune to have met so many patients and colleagues. I like working in this setting built on team spirit and the shared goals of providing integrated and accessible medical, dental and behavioral health care to all in our community.
During my time off I enjoy fresh air, music and the company of friends and family.

I joined Unity Care NW in September 2021.
I earned my medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, OH, and completed my Family Medicine residency at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, CA. While in residency, I helped expand care to include management of PrEP and hormone therapy for trans patients. Upon completion of my residency, I worked as a Physician for Vista Community Clinic, a community health center in Vista, CA.

I love helping patients take ownership of their health through education, and take my role as an advocate for my patients as my guiding philosophy in medicine!
