You'll see these advanced practice providers caring for patients in a variety of medical specialties at doctor's offices, hospitals, outpatient centers and emergency rooms.

About Me

After visiting Jacksonville several times with my husband, a former resident and musician there, we decided to move from West Virginia. Coming from a family that celebrates music and art, I’ve always loved playing piano, singing, and painting—passions shared by my husband and our two children. With Jacksonville’s vibrant arts scene and beautiful beaches, it is the perfect place for our family to call home.

My philosophy of care centers on actively listening to my patients and integrating their perspectives into their treatment, empowering them with knowledge about their health and well-being. I believe that a preventative approach not only benefits patients' overall health but also helps manage healthcare costs more effectively. I believe it is my responsibility to deliver patient-centered care in an environment that fosters healing for the mind, body and soul.
