As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience, I have provided care across clinical settings ranging from emergency medicine to family practice. My background in rural critical access and telehealth has fueled my commitment to expanding high-quality healthcare for underserved communities and busy individuals. I hold multiple advanced degrees in nursing and education, and I am nationally board certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Nurse Educator. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about graduate-level nursing education, believing that patient understanding is the cornerstone of long-term health. Now based in Alaska, I combine clinical expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure my patients receive evidence-based, personalized support. My goal is to bridge the gap in traditional care through timely, accessible consultations that prioritize your wellness journey.

How does family therapy work and how can it help?
Family therapy helps family members improve communication, understand one another’s perspectives, and work through challenges together in a more supportive way. Instead of focusing on one person as “the problem,” family therapy looks at patterns, relationships, stressors, and communication styles that may be affecting the whole family.
In family therapy, we work to create a safe space where each person can feel heard and respected. Sessions may focus on conflict, life transitions, parenting concerns, health challenges, caregiving stress, or improving trust and connection. Family therapy can help families build stronger communication skills, solve problems more effectively, and create healthier patterns that support everyone’s well-being.
How do you work with clients with weight loss issues?
I work with clients on weight loss by first understanding their full health picture, lifestyle, medical history, stress levels, sleep, nutrition habits, activity level, and any barriers that may be making weight management difficult. My goal is not to offer a one-size-fits-all plan, but to create a realistic, evidence-based approach that fits your life and supports long-term health.
Together, we focus on sustainable changes, education, and practical strategies that help you feel more confident and in control of your wellness journey. When appropriate, I may also discuss medical factors, lab work, medication options, or referrals that could support your progress. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and focused on helping you build healthier habits without shame or judgment.
