Appointment Information
Austin, MN
Hospital and Clinic
1000 First Drive NW, Austin, MN 55912Provider's Bio
My role is to provide a safe, respectful, and person-centered space where patients can express their feelings, grieve a loss, feel supported and regain personal autonomy. I commit to confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, and ethical boundaries, and to fostering healing through compassionate listening, community connection, and empowering patients to navigate in ways that honor their unique needs.
I thrive on connection, care and creativity. My days are filled with laughter from my family and dogs, the peaceful rhythm of gardening and the comforting aroma of bread baking in my kitchen. Staying fit keeps my energy high, and I’m passionate about lifting others up and helping them succeed.
