With experience in family practice, rehabilitation medicine, and internal and geriatric medicine, she has a breadth of knowledge to serve as a primary care provider. She’s a warm, gentle, and compassionate provider who has encountered too many patients who have not felt heard or understood in the traditional healthcare system…

…It is important to her to listen carefully to patients and to partner with them in creating an all-encompassing health plan that works best for them. “Every patient is unique.”

She is passionate about general health and wellness, mental and emotional health, the challenges of addiction, and trauma-informed practice. 

Gretchen received her medical training at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in the child health associate/physician assistant program.  

She has lived in Colorado most of her life but now enjoys spending time with family in the lakes and rivers of Wisconsin. Here in Colorado, she enjoys podcasts, reading, bird watching, gardening, listening to and making music with her teenage son, and walking with her dog.
