I grew up in the orchards at the base of Mount Hood in Hood River, Oregon. My parents created a family culture that valued health, hard work, spiritual connection, and personal growth. As a young adult, I discovered for myself the immense power of the food we choose to fuel our bodies with. That started a life-long passion that led to a degree in Nutritional Science at BYU and later becoming a certified Health Coach.
I am a joyful follower of Jesus Christ and believe that tapping into spiritual power (in any faith tradition) is key to personal growth and healing. I enjoy cooking nutritious meals for my family and working and playing outdoors! I thrive on family time, gardening, biking, yoga, reading a good book, and learning all about the science of health and lasting behavior change!
I strongly believe that a flourishing life is built on a foundation of nourishment in the 5 key areas of our being: Spiritual, Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Social. I love being part of Ascend’s pioneer movement to combine mental health counseling and therapy with nutrition and lifestyle coaching. This synergistic combination creates powerful results!
Audrey serves as a health and wellness coach and nutritionist with programs serving both youth and adults. She provides the education, support, and accountability needed to build a foundation of healthy food and lifestyle habits that support optimal chemistry in the brain and body.

I have lived and worked in rural Utah for over 22 years. Most of my clinical experience came from serving clients at Central Utah Counseling Center in Ephraim, Utah. I really enjoy connecting with clients and supporting them on their healing journey. I love it so much, I want to continue doing it in retirement with Ascend Counseling & Coaching.
I wanted to work for Ascend because of their focus on faith-based services. God has blessed me throughout my life and I know He blesses others, but our mental and emotional health can impact our connection with Him.
Because of Him, hope and healing are possible. I am excited to partner with Ascend Counseling & Coaching to bring this hope and healing to many of you. Please reach out for a free consultation.
