I grew up on a farm in northern Minnesota and knew in high school that I wanted to become a Nurse Practitioner. The holistic nature of nursing always felt like the right fit, though I wasn’t certain what I would specialize in until I began working in the field. I discovered a deep love for women’s health during my time as an oncology nurse, and that passion was reaffirmed while working in the NICU and on the postpartum unit.

I valued the relationships I was building at the bedside and knew that connection would only deepen as a Nurse Practitioner. One of the most rewarding parts of being a provider is the continuity of care. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my patients, hearing their stories, and supporting their evolving needs.

I practice trauma-informed care with a focus on shared decision-making and patient-empowered healthcare. I’m passionate about reproductive justice, social equity, and affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals. My areas of special interest in women’s health include perinatal mental health, hyperemesis gravidarum, obstetrics, and infertility.
