About Whitney
Hi and welcome.
I'm a Wisconsin native who's lived in Leadville, Colorado for the past decade. I took a winding road to get here, but through Heron & Pine, I've found a way to combine my professional interests and skills to serve our mountain communities and beyond.
A variety of vocational and educational experiences inform my work. Previous experience as a service industry staff, outdoor educator, high school teacher, student advisor, college tutor, curriculum writer, program director, grant writer, nonprofit consultant, crisis clinician, and mental health navigator all influence the ways I work with people and organizations.
I look forward to supporting you in your personal mental health journey or your organization in developing mental health supports and programs!
Please reach out with any questions.
