About Me

My husband and I moved to Jacksonville this year when we found the perfect city to raise our daughter. We fell in love with the arts and culture of Jacksonville, the amazing outdoor water activities, and the diversity of restaurants, as we are huge foodies.

My philosophy of care is to work with both the patient and their families to utilize all tools to promote the best mental health of each and every patient. This includes focusing not just on medication related solutions but also therapy and recreational and social solutions for children and adolescents with emotional and mental illness. My focus is to care for each child and their family with empathy and humor, to treat mental illness, and to maximize their potential as they grow into happy successful adults.
