I am a board-certified Physician Assistant. I earned my master’s in physician assistant studies from the University of Colorado Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant (CHA/PA) Program. Prior to becoming a Physician Assistant, I was a clinical social worker. As a social worker, I worked in various settings including inpatient psychiatric hospital, residential program for adults with intellectual disabilities, and community mental health programs that provided services to at-risk youth. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work at Colorado State University and my Master of Social Work at the University of Denver.
After practicing in various treatment settings as both a social worker and as a psych PA, I am driven to provide quality and compassionate behavioral healthcare across patients’ lifespans. As a clinician, I strive to facilitate a collaborative therapeutic relationship through a holistic and strengths-based approach. I enjoy understanding clients within a biopsychosocial-spiritual framework to better assess everyone’s unique needs as we work together toward treatment goals.
