As a registered nurse in the acute care setting for 5 years, I cared for a variety of patients that suffered from not only acute pain but also chronic pain. I frequently saw how pain can affect a patient’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. When I became a nurse practitioner, I knew that I wanted to help patients become pain free. I find it very rewarding to help patients find relief from their pain and to see progress in their daily lives through symptom relief. I like to set realistic goals with my patients and have them involved in the treatment plan. Pain is subjective and having a patient centered treatment plan is crucial to providing the best patient care. I also love the thought of new and innovative treatment plans to help patients who suffer from chronic pain, so Jax Spine & Pain Centers is the perfect fit for me!

Outside of work, my husband and I spend time spoiling our two Labrador retrievers and supporting our favorite local dinner spots in Atlantic Beach. We are fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends that keep us entertained. As someone who was blessed with a strong professional support system, I am passionate about paying this forward and doing what I can to relay my experiences to those who aspire to take the same track.
