I fell in love with Northern Florida while attending medical school at the University of Florida in Gainesville, and after completing my psychiatry residency and child & adolescent psychiatry fellowship training felt compelled to move back to the region in its urban center of Jacksonville and the beautiful Beaches throughout the rapidly growing Northeast Florida region to serve the children, teenagers, adults and families of this wonderful area. My wife, kiddos, and puppies share a love of the outdoors, and we enjoy our leisure time by playing at the park, beach, zoo, and gyms, exploring new restaurants, attending Jags games, and giving back to the community through volunteering in coaching youth sports to community service for charitable organizations such as AngelAID and Habijax.
As a psychiatrist who manages a broad spectrum of mental/behavioral health conditions for patients of all ages, my philosophy of care entails providing the highest quality, evidence-based, individualized care possible, tailored to each of my patients and his/her families. I am excited to work with children, teens, adults and families in developing self-awareness and wellness, while making positive transformations to lead their most healthy, fulfilling lives. I enjoy integrating medication management and psychotherapy services, including ketamine-assisted psychedelic therapy, in designing a treatment plan that considers the patient holistically to help my patients and their families overcome their most difficult challenges, process and cure their past traumas, and achieve their greatest treatment and life goals with maximal support. I am dedicated to providing the finest care imaginable and advocating for the best interest of my patients and their families always.
