Becoming a nurse practitioner allowed me to delve deeper into addressing the specific concerns of youth, particularly in Colorado, where substance use among young people posed significant challenges. Through my work, I've encountered diverse situations that have enriched my understanding and honed my ability to provide effective care and support.
As emergency medicine includes all patient from birth to old age I naturally wanted to join the adolescent care team with Boulder. Going the extra mile for my younger patients feels very important to me as I know navigating the world and the health care system as a teen or young adult can be really challenging.
My dog and working out, but mostly just my dog.
Even on the best of days growing from a child to an adult is incredibly hard and using substances usually makes life even harder. In health care a lot of times different clinics do not see patients under the age of 18 and this is a big problem when trying to stop using drugs. We are all proud to meet adolescents and young adults who might not have access to all help that adults have.

I am excited that we can extend and reach out to our young people now while they are young...... because it is what transforms you into who you will and want to become. If right now all it is is to be Heard and listen to, I want to be part of that here with you!!!.

I love that we have the opportunity to help adoloscents with SUD before they're an adult. If they need the help now then why wait until they become 18. I'm part of this team because I would want someone to help and care my children with the compassion I have as well.
Our mission is to improve the lives of people with substance use disorders. We provide medication, resources, and support to help our patients succeed on their own terms, wherever they are.
