About Me

I was born and raised in the Northeast and recently relocated to Florida to be closer to family. While I’ve worked in several regions across the country, I’m excited to now call Jacksonville Beach home and contribute to the care and community at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. I enjoy the beach, getting lost in audiobooks, practicing Pilates, spending quality time with my family and being outdoors with my dog.

My approach to treatment is collaborative. I believe families know their children best. I aim to understand challenging behaviors, teach children more appropriate alternatives and support parents and caregivers with tools they can confidently use at home. Every child and family is unique, so I tailor each plan to meet their individual needs. I believe all children can succeed when given the right supports and the chance to thrive.
