My approach centers on listening deeply, understanding and honoring the story of each individual and helping individuals find balance, meaning and strength throughout the cancer experience.
I grew up in the Eau Claire area. After completing my education, professional training and gaining experience in a larger medical center, I returned to this region to be closer to family. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, being outdoors, gardening, traveling and participating in citizen science projects focused on bumble bee conservation.
