Ellen Petersen, FNP (she/her)

  • Family Nurse Practitioner

Biography

I’m Ellen Petersen, a family nurse practitioner with experience in urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, and accidental bowel leakage. I provide non-surgical treatments for pelvic floor disorders, including counseling on behavioral changes, pelvic floor muscle strengthening, medications, tibial nerve stimulation, and pessaries.

I believe it’s important to talk with patients to identify their goals and work together to develop a treatment plan that suits them.

In my free time, I love spending time outdoors with my husband and two children. I also enjoy gardening, jogging, and trying out new recipes.
