I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Fernandina Beach, Florida, just 30 minutes from downtown Jacksonville. With over 18 years of experience in psychotherapy and career development, I bring both depth and versatility to the work I do with clients.
My background includes a wide range of clinical settings: hospital, forensic, college counseling, and outpatient care, giving me a broad understanding of mental health across life stages. I also serve as a subject matter expert and educator at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, staying actively engaged in the academic field and current research.
My therapeutic style is warm but strategic. I believe that meaningful change happens through a combination of insight and action. I work collaboratively with each client to develop a treatment plan tailored to their goals—offering flexibility, support, and practical tools along the way. Together, we focus on building not just symptom relief, but lasting resilience and a greater sense of purpose and direction.
My approach blends the structure and effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with the depth of psychodynamic and existential perspectives. This integrative model supports both symptom relief and lasting personal growth.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), and I help clients navigate life’s transitions, whether that means stepping into adulthood, facing career or relationship changes, or coping with loss or uncertainty. Together, we work not only to manage challenges but to build resilience and create a deeper sense of meaning, clarity, and connection.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique path.
