About Me

I moved to Jacksonville in 2024 and spend most of my free time outdoors with my husband and our animals. I love just being around animals, practicing yoga, and checking out local festivals, markets, and cool outdoor spots around Jacksonville.

My philosophy of care is rooted in the belief that each person is the expert of their own experience. I feel it is a privilege to walk alongside individuals on their healing journey. I believe that what we consume—whether through food, media, or even our surroundings—impacts how we feel. We are not separate from nature, and I believe that true healing often begins when we reconnect with the natural world and rediscover our sense of belonging.
