About Me

I am originally from a small town on the Ohio/West Virginia border. After graduating with my bachelor’s degree, I spent two years working on an adult inpatient psychiatry unit. It was during this time that I developed a deep passion for building meaningful relationships with patients and forming a variety of treatment plans tailored to each individual. My experience inspired me to further my education and complete my Doctorate Degree at the University of Florida.

For the past 8 years, I have lived in the Jacksonville area with my husband and our dog, where we enjoy the warm Florida weather and spending time by the beach. Outside of my professional life, I love to travel, spend time with friends and family, and attend concerts.

My journey in healthcare has been driven by a commitment to helping others, and I take great pride in working closely with my patients to guide them through their mental health journey.
