our team

I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Certified Menopause Practitioner (MSCP), specializing in hormone optimization and improving cardiometabolic health. My focus is on helping patients achieve lasting vitality and well-being through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that transforms healthcare and patient outcomes.

I have over 16 years of clinical experience spanning emergency medicine and primary care, with a current focus on innovative, root-cause approaches to health that go beyond traditional medical models.

My practice centers on longevity and preventive health, with a deep understanding of hormone optimization, metabolic health, and strategies for extending healthspan. I work closely with patients to create personalized health plans, with a particular emphasis on hormonal, cellular, cognitive, and cardiometabolic health. By integrating advanced diagnostic testing, nutraceuticals, targeted nutrition, movement strategies, and cutting-edge medical technologies, I help patients not just manage symptoms but truly optimize their health potential.

My approach is rooted in the belief that, with the right interventions and health literacy, individuals can dramatically improve their quality of life and extend their years of vibrant health.

I am driven by the belief that preventive care and optimal health strategies should be accessible to everyone. My mission is to provide transparent, personalized functional medicine that breaks down traditional healthcare barriers, empowering individuals to take control of their health and achieve their highest potential for wellness.

Hi, I’m Katie, and I’m so glad you’re here! At Rise Functional Medicine, my role as Wellness Coordinator is all about supporting you on your journey to better health. With a deep passion for holistic wellness and years of experience in patient care, I’m here to help make your experience smooth, personalized, and empowering.

Outside of work, I find peace and inspiration in nature—whether it's spending time at the ocean, exploring the outdoors, or flowing through yoga. I cherish moments with my husband, daughter, and our beloved cat, and believe that laughter and a smile are among the most powerful forms of medicine. Music, travel, cooking, and gardening are my soul-nourishing hobbies, and I bring that same energy and creativity into my professional life.

I work and play hard, and my greatest fulfillment comes from showing care and compassion to my family, friends, and patients. Wellness isn’t just my profession—it’s my way of life.

Katie- Wellness Coordinator + Program Coach

Hi, I'm Olivia. I am a board-certified Functional Medicine Health Coach (FMCHC, NBC-HWC) and I am thrilled to join Rise in supporting clients on their holistic health journeys.

I came to this work having gone through my own healing journey that started with exploring my personal growth as a young adult. I got my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and worked in the mental health field for many years. I learned the deep value of holding a safe space for someone and listening with empathy and compassion, as well as navigating my own emotional, spiritual, and generational trauma healing along the way. My pivotal moment was when I surprisingly had kidney stones at age 29, which set me on a course to better understand my body, study plant-based nutrition, and ultimately get my coaching certification through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. I also completed advanced nutrition training through eCornell and the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. Now I feel so privileged to support others through their holistic healing, and I am excited to bring that passion to Rise.

When I'm not working, you can often find me walking my two doodles around the neighborhood, hiking somewhere on a beautiful Oregon trail, cooking up a delicious plant-based meal, or working on my latest craft or crochet project.
