*Audrey treats patients ages 8 and up in our Highlands Ranch clinic.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. My clinical background includes working at Children’s Hospital while completing my nurse practitioner training, where I gained experience supporting children and adolescents ages 4 to 17 with a variety of mental health challenges. This experience helped me develop a strong foundation in working with young patients and their families while addressing complex emotional and behavioral needs.

I earned my education through Western Governors University, where my training prepared me to diagnose and treat a wide range of psychiatric conditions. My clinical focus includes medication management, assessment, and treatment for conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders across the lifespan.

Most recently, I have expanded my experience into addiction treatment, supporting individuals working toward recovery and improved mental health. I believe in a holistic and individualized approach to care, combining evidence-based treatment with empathy and understanding. I am personally convicted in patients receiving the highest quality care as a whole person which led me to developing an approach that includes many evidence based treatments, not just one.

I am passionate about helping people feel heard, supported, and empowered in their mental health journey. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where patients can work toward lasting wellness and improved quality of life.
