Gateway

My path into healthcare began when I was a teenager who would have greatly benefited from accessible mental health support. That experience shaped my passion for ensuring others have the resources and care they need.

I was drawn to Mountain Park because of its integrated clinic framework, which supports true collaboration across and keeps the patient at the center of every decision. When patients meet with me, they can expect a personable, empathetic listener who takes the time to understand the whole person and works alongside them in the way that best supports their needs.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in healthcare is that the patient is the expert of their own experience. My role is to listen, understand, and help them move forward in a meaningful way.

If I weren’t in healthcare, I’d likely be traveling as a motivational speaker focusing on mental health and wellness or spending full time raising my two children. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with my kids, especially attending their musical theater performances!

Wellness is a big part of my life. I stay grounded by continually educating myself on mental health and women’s health, hiking, traveling, swimming, walking, and listening to music.

A fun fact about me: I’m a huge music lover and attend concerts and music festivals several times a year.
