What I’m Known For & My Areas of Expertise

Clients seek me out for honest guidance, advanced corrective treatments, and results they can actually see.

I specialize in laser-based skin rejuvenation, pigmentation correction, melasma management, collagen stimulation, and body contouring, with nearly two decades of experience helping clients navigate both straightforward and more complex skin concerns.

If there’s one thing I’m especially known for, it’s honesty.

I believe clients deserve realistic expectations, thoughtful recommendations, and treatment plans built around what will genuinely move the needle, not what sounds trendy in the moment.

My approach is deeply results-driven, but never aggressive for the sake of being aggressive. I’m interested in smart treatment planning, skin health, and natural-looking improvement that continues building over time.

I also have extensive experience with CoolSculpting®, helping clients create balanced, natural-looking body contouring results through thoughtful treatment design.

A Little Bit About Me

I’m Minnesota-born and raised, though I spent eight years living and working in Arizona after completing my laser training at the National Laser Institute in Scottsdale.

I’ve now spent nearly 20 years in medical aesthetics, and what originally drew me to this field still motivates me today: helping people address concerns that genuinely affect how they feel about themselves.

Skin concerns can feel incredibly personal. Whether it’s melasma, acne scarring, stubborn pigmentation, early signs of aging, or body contour frustrations, these things can quietly impact confidence in a very real way.

What I’ve always loved about aesthetics is that when approached thoughtfully, we can create visible, meaningful improvements that truly change how someone feels.

Working across different markets and treatment technologies over the years has given me broad perspective, but what has remained constant is my commitment to honest recommendations, excellent care, and real outcomes.

And yes, I’ve been with Refinery since the beginning, which has made watching this practice grow especially meaningful!

How I Approach Taking Care of Your Skin’s Health & Appearance

I believe great skin is built, not rushed.

The best results rarely come from a single treatment or one-size-fits-all recommendations. They come from understanding your skin, identifying the right tools, and creating a strategic plan that makes sense for your goals, timeline, and lifestyle.

My approach is rooted in honesty, education, customization, and long-term thinking.

I’ll always take time to understand what’s bothering you, explain your options clearly, and help set realistic expectations so you feel confident moving forward.

I’m not interested in over-treating or chasing unnecessary interventions. My goal is to choose the right treatments at the right time to improve how your skin functions, looks, and ages in the healthiest possible way.

Trust matters tremendously in aesthetics, and I work hard to earn that with every client relationship.

My Favorite Treatments to Perform & Why I Love Them

Lumenis M22™ IPL Photorejuvenation

IPL remains one of my favorite treatments because of how transformative it can be when used appropriately.

Sun damage, pigmentation, redness, vascular lesions, uneven tone… this treatment can address so many of the concerns that make skin look older, duller, or less healthy. It’s such a multi-tasker!

I especially love helping clients see clearer, brighter, more even skin emerge over time. IPL is total skin confidence game changer.

ResurFX™ Laser Resurfacing

ResurFX is such an excellent option for improving texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality without the downtime associated with more aggressive resurfacing.

I love treatments that stimulate your body’s own collagen response in a smart, controlled way, and this is one of my favorites for exactly that reason.

SkinPen® Microneedling with Ariessence® PDGF+

This combination is one of my go-to recommendations for improving texture, firmness, skin quality, and overall rejuvenation.

The addition of PDGF helps support healing and enhances the regenerative benefits, making results even stronger.

CoolSculpting®

I love CoolSculpting because sometimes there’s just… that one area. The one stubborn area of fat that seems entirely unbothered by your workouts, healthy habits, hydration, and best intentions. Argh!

For the right client, CoolSculpting can be such a satisfying solution because it helps significantly reduce fat in a way that feels strategic, customized, and requires no surgery or downtime.

It helps my clients stop hyper-focusing on that one frustrating concern and start feeling more comfortable, body-confident, and like themselves again.

Products I Love Recommending

SkinMedica® TNS® Advanced+ Serum

This remains one of my favorite all-around products for supporting healthier, firmer, smoother-looking skin for virtually ANYONE.

Growth factors and peptides make this a powerhouse for clients serious about overall skin quality.

SkinMedica® Lumivive® System

I love this system because it takes a broader skin health approach by helping defend against environmental stressors during the day while supporting repair overnight. It also is the missing link product system that helps my clients finally achieve the luminous “lit-from-within” glow they’ve been chasing.

Sivora™

This is one of my favorite options for supporting hydration, barrier health, and overall skin balance, which are foundational to any strong skincare plan. It contain bioidentical estrogen, combined with hyaluronic acid, ascorbic acid, and aloe vera to significantly improve perimenopausal and post-menopausal skin.

My Life Outside of Refinery Skin Clinic

Outside of work, life is centered around family.

I love spending time with my son, our dog, and the people who matter most. A lot of that time involves cheering from the sidelines at my son’s sporting events, which I wouldn’t trade for anything.

When life allows, I love horseback riding with my mom, something that always helps me slow down and reconnect.

And a fun fact? I personally perform almost all of my own treatments on myself, everything except injectables. Staying connected to what clients actually experience matters to me, and I think firsthand perspective makes me a better provider.
