Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Florida

Hello! I'm a dedicated healthcare provider with over 14 years of experience. I specialize in delivering top-notch care in both urgent and primary care settings. My journey in healthcare began with a strong educational foundation, culminating in a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Jacksonville State University. Throughout my career, I've been committed to providing comprehensive care for all ages. I handle everything from routine checkups and preventive care to managing chronic illnesses and treating acute conditions. I strive to make every visit as comfortable and supportive as possible, whether I'm performing a simple screening test or a more complex procedure like a laceration repair. I also believe in the power of education. I love teaching and motivating future healthcare professionals. I've trained many of my colleagues in essential skills, such as Basic Life Support and venipuncture. Currently, I provide care at Primary Hydration and Wellness. I aim to offer friendly, convenient, and high-quality service to everyone who steps through our doors. My goal is to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve your overall well-being. Thank you for considering me for your healthcare needs. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!

Are you feeling lost, doubtful, maybe even disappointed in yourself or your partner? And the harder you struggle to face the problem, the more discouraged you feel for not “having it all figured out”? Imagine the freedom of trusting yourself. Moving through your day with a sense of calm and confidence that you already have everything you need to navigate your journey through life. You might not be there yet, but you will be. And I’ll be with you every step of the way. While relationships can lead to stress and anxiety, they can also be the source of safety and security for us if we let them. I work primarily with individuals and couples struggling with relationship distress. Whether you're struggling in your relationship with your partner or yourself, we can work together to identify the parts that need attention and change negative patterns so you can feel closer to those around you and live a more meaningful life. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help, however, doing so it’s the first step towards healing and powerful transformation. The best choice we can make is to commit to becoming our greatest selves, and I would feel privileged to take that journey with you!
