She earned her Doctor of Optometry from the University of California at Berkeley, where she graduated with multiple honors, including the Beta Sigma Kappa Silver Medal for highest grade point average. Dr. Henrie went on to complete advanced residency training in medical eye care through the VA Hospital Puget Sound Health Care System in Tacoma, WA prior to entering clinical practice. After a few years in private practice, she developed clinical expertise in advanced medical eyecare through working as a consulting optometric physician at Northwest Eye Surgeons, an eye surgery co-management center here in the Puget Sound, where she provided post-operative and medical eye care from 2008 to 2012. Out of a desire for improved work-life balance, Dr. Henrie was thrilled to join Roosevelt Vision in 2012 and has been one of the proud owners in the practice since 2016.

Dr. Henrie enjoys working with families and patients of all ages. She takes pride in listening to her patients and collaborating with them to help find and offer unique solutions to their eye issues, no matter how simple or complex. She takes a holistic approach to eye care, and especially enjoys helping to identify and manage the variety of conditions that can affect perimenopausal women, such as eye fatigue, migraines, and dry eyes. Her clinical interests include nutrition, dry eye and ocular surface disorders, prevention strategies for myopia in children (including MiSight contact lenses) and glaucoma. She is warm, caring, and insightful and relies on her attention to detail, clinical acumen, and excellent communication skills to put patients of all ages at ease.

Dr. Henrie is active in her profession, with memberships in the American Optometric Association, Optometric Physicians of Washington, and the King County Optometric Society. She has held several leadership positions and became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry in 2010. She enjoys serving the local community and has lectured on a variety of eye-related topics to local audiences. She has also gone on two volunteer eye care missions to Mexico in which she helped perform thousands of free eye examinations and distribute glasses.

Dr. Henrie lives in Seattle with her husband, two children, and spunky puppy Juno. When she is not in the clinic, she enjoys spending time with family, outdoor exploration and camping, reading, slinging kettlebells, and pursuing crafts and creative endeavors.

“Working with and learning from my patients and the Roosevelt Vision team provides me great joy. I love meeting new people, learning from them, and staying up on the latest technologies in my profession. It is my goal to listen carefully to my patients to determine their unique needs, utilize the latest technology, and offer the most effective treatment options so they can enjoy the highest quality of vision and eye comfort possible.”
