I’m a psychotherapist who led patient support and education for many years at HealthPartners Frauenshuh Cancer Center. I worked with patients and their caregivers, family members and other loved ones as part of an interdisciplinary team. Coping with cancer inevitably comes with a range of emotions and challenges. It can seem overwhelming, but it’s important to know there are people and resources available to help on the journey. My role was to connect patients and others on the journey with them to those supports, providing compassionate education and empowering therapeutic relationships.

In my free time, I enjoy biking, gardening and traveling.
