About Me
I’ve called Jacksonville home for more than twenty years, and it’s where my husband and I raised our two children. When I’m not working, I enjoy biking, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.
My approach to care is centered on compassion, accountability, and respect. I see each patient as a whole person, and I work with them to find balance and healing that fits their life. It’s important to me that people feel safe, valued, and empowered to take part in their own care.
