About Me

I have lived in Jacksonville for the past six years, but hail from Fort Myers, Florida. I have three kids under five years old, so I have a very hectic but fun home life.

My philosophy of care is to bring holistic care to my patients and to take into account the entire patient and not just a single condition. I place great emphasis on objective evidence-based medicine and also find importance in mindfulness and other complementary and alternative therapies.

I strive to give my patients a sense of safety, security and well-being while under my care.
