About Me

Although not originally from Florida, Jacksonville has been my home for over 25 years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, saying hi to the animals at the Jacksonville Zoo, going to the parks in our area, and spending time with family. I also enjoy reading books that have been adapted into movies and cross-stitching.

My philosophy of care involves being present for my individuals and creating a space of safety and trust so that we can work collaboratively to identify and address needs and goals specifically tailored to each individual.
