I fell in love with psychology in college, which prompted me to pursue a masters in psychology after graduation. I also worked as a mental health tech at a DBT center for patients with a history of trauma and mood disorders, which is where I realized my passion for preventative mental healthcare and child/adolescent psychiatry. I am excited to be continuing my medical training in Spokane, where I completed my first two years of medical school. Outside of the clinic, you will find me with my husband and our puppy, Bunchers. We love being outdoors on walks and hikes whenever we can. Otherwise, you will never find me without a romance novel on hand or an art project in the works. I also love game nights, playing the piano, and finding new recipes to cook (soup season is the best season)!

I am originally from Vancouver, Washington, and later moved to Idaho for my undergraduate education, where I competed as a sprinter on the track and field team. After graduating, I married my high school sweetheart, and we returned to Idaho where I completed medical school. I am thrilled to be returning to my home state for residency and to continue my training in a place that means so much to me. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, knitting, playing pickleball, and weight lifting. I am especially excited to serve the Spokane community and contribute to the field of psychiatry and mental health.

Elizabeth was born and raised in Bellingham, Washington. Her passion for psychiatry grew while working at a low-barrier women’s shelter in Vancouver, British Columbia’s Downtown Eastside after graduating from the University of British Columbia. She first came to Spokane when she drove there with a fully packed car to begin medical school at Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. What started as a new chapter quickly turned into a deep appreciation for the area, inspiring her to pursue residency training here. Outside of medicine, Elizabeth enjoys skiing at Schweitzer, cycling, and exploring local coffee shops. She is grateful to be a psychiatry resident in a supportive program with easy access to the activities she loves.

Hello! My name is Richard, and I am a Seattle-native joining the Spokane team to pursue a career in Psychiatry. During my training, I really enjoyed talking to patients about their feelings and decided that I wanted to do it day-in and day-out for the rest of my life. I'm particularly interested in child psychiatry because I have seen so much value in creating a stronger safety net around children through interventions with parents and their community at large. I come from a small family of three and therefore have made it a goal to explore the community around me to expand my chosen family. My hobbies include country line dancing, board/card games (recent obsession with Magic The Gathering), video games, and karaoke (mostly carpool and bar). I'm always looking for opportunities to have fun and expand my community, so I'm all-ears for anyone who might have any ideas at any time.
