I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the treatment of children, teens and families. Areas of expertise include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, behavior management, and parenting support. After earning my doctorate in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2002, I completed internship training in the Psychology Department of the Cypress-Fairbanks School District in Houston, serving students with special needs at the elementary, middle and high school level. My postdoctoral training was in a private practice setting in Austin, serving young victims of abuse and trauma.
I have lived in Jacksonville Beach with my children for 22 years. After working in a large group practice for ten years, I opened a small private practice in Ponte Vedra Beach which also serves as the home for my nonprofit work. My purpose is serving children, helping them heal and grow to lead healthier lives. I believe in a collaborative health care model and often consult with teachers and other health professionals to provide comprehensive, wraparound support.
