I graduated as a Nurse from UVA in 1999 and gained valuable experience in various medical settings, including general med/surg, the medical intensive care unit, same-day surgery, and the post-operative recovery unit. I then obtained my Masters in Nursing at the University of Maryland with a qualification as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Throughout my career, I have contributed my skills to diverse areas such as Lung Transplant, Women's Health, and Primary Care. I served as the Medical Director of the Orange County Free Clinic. I also had the privilege of working in private practice at the M Clinic alongside Dr. Z Bush and eventually owned my own practice for three years, focusing on the fundamental aspects of health. Additionally, I bring a unique perspective to healthcare as a trained and practicing clinical herbalist for the past 12 years, offering insights into alternative health practices, herbs, supplements, and their interactions with medications. My professional journey is fueled by a passion for empowering individuals to prioritize self-care, emphasizing the foundational building blocks of health applicable to all. I have dedicated myself to helping patients lead their best lives through diligent and compassionate care. Beyond my professional life, I am a wife and mother to two teenagers and a young adult, as well as the proud caregiver of two dogs, two cats, and a bunny (who actually rules the roost!). I love running and being in the mountains! Jude's headshot by Sarah Cramer Shields Photography |

People often seek out therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. These feelings may cause symptoms of anxiety, depression, difficulty managing anger, or dependance on food or substances to cope. As a therapist I enjoy creating a relationship that is warm, consistent, caring and safe to explore difficult feelings or experiences while figuring out what symptoms like anxiety, or depression are trying to tell us. Having someone who understands the way you think and feel can be truly transformative. This process can lead to the rediscovery of your own innate constructive forces, bringing relief and much needed change.
I have loved working with people of all ages and walks of life, including creative people and those who are in the midst of life's transitions, including new parents. I have experience working with individuals who have struggled with anxiety, depression, substance abuse recovery, and relationship and dating issues. Seeking therapy for the first time is a radical act of bravery but one that is worth the risk with the right fit in a therapist. While it may seem daunting to get to know someone new, having a fresh perspective and new ears to listen can reinvigorate your sense of self and let new feelings emerge about your story. |
