Stacie Gordon
Practice Manager
I am excited to join Thrive Integrative Psychiatry and to serve the Willamette Valley community. It is my desire to consistently provide the highest level of service with authenticity and a smile. Prior to this experience, I was Head Volleyball Coach for a local private college and worked in the financial services industry. I earned my master’s degree from Concordia University Irvine in 2017. In my spare time, I spend as much time as possible with my husband, step-son, and twin toddler boys. Some of my favorite things are to travel, sunshine, coffee, anything chocolate, and a good laugh. I look forward to working with you!
Anna Boe
Lead TMS Technician
I am thrilled to be the Lead TMS Technician here at Thrive Integrative Psychiatry. From a very young age I have always had a desire to be in the helping field - wanting to encourage others and help them to work through their hardships and struggles. Currently, I am a full-time student at George Fox University and I am excited to graduate with my bachelor’s degree this coming May 2020 in social and behavioral studies. I plan to then apply for graduate school to work towards getting my master’s in social work.
Prior to working at Thrive, I owned my own cleaning business serving Yamhill county for over seven years. I have two teenage daughters that keep me very busy. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, camping, hiking, or spending the day at the beach, as well as, enjoying a good meal, book, or movie.
