About Me
I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience — spanning emergency care, family medicine, maternal health, and inpatient psychiatry. I founded Hygge Holistic Mental Health in March 2025.
I work primarily with women, ages 18 to 64, specializing in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, trauma (PTSD), and hormonal transitions like PMDD, postpartum, and perimenopause. I also love supporting healthcare professionals navigating burnout and compassion fatigue.
Outside the office, my family is the center of my universe-my husband and kids make me laugh and inspire me daily. Nature is what regulates my own nervous system: hiking, biking, camping, coast trips, and time in the mountains (the Tetons are my favorite place on earth). At home, you'll find me baking sourdough, drawing birds, writing creatively, or out in my flower garden - a mix of dahlias, snapdragons, zinnias, and sunflowers I plant with my daughter. I also love live theater, a good ballet, and a music rotation that ranges from Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton to Metallica (I named my cat James Hetfield in 7th grade, if that tells you anything!).
I'm a mix of softness and grit- and I bring both to this work. My own lived experience has given me a kind of wisdom and gentleness that I get to share with the people I support along their own journeys. Doing this work is both a calling and a joy, and I feel genuinely grateful I get to do it!
