Your Voice. Your Neighbor. Your Advocate.

I’m a proud Coloradan, a mom, and a doctor of clinical psychology. For over 15 years, I’ve led a correctional mental health unit, serving individuals facing serious mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. I also run a private practice in Arvada supporting first responders and train future mental health professionals—because I believe in leaving things better than I found them.

More important than any title or credential is this: I love living in Arvada. I’m raising my kids here because it’s a place where people look out for each other, and where the diversity of experiences—from amazing local food and deep farming roots to outdoor adventures and meaningful community events—makes it vibrant and full of life.

I’m thrilled to bring my strong social service background to Arvada because I truly believe that’s what we need right now. We need a strong person who can make tough decisions with a level head. I care about people, about fairness, and about solutions that make sense.

Do I know all the ins and outs of politics? No. Am I polished and rehearsed? Not exactly. But if you ask people who know me, they’ll probably say I’ve got grit, I’m sharp, and I own my blind spots.  That’s what I bring to the table—real-life experience, hard work, and heart. I hope to earn your support one vote at a time, and I plan to do just that. 

If that sounds like the kind of person you’d want representing you, I’d be honored to earn your vote and I would love to learn more about you and what you care about so I can best represent our amazing Arvada!
