MA, Executive Director of Operations 

Hey there! I’m your Operations Director here at Restored Purpose Counseling. From onboarding our new hires, to managing our marketing, to ensuring our practice runs efficiently, I'm here to make sure everything clicks. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, I'm fueled by a passion for helping our clients thrive.

I'm a firm believer in the powerful connection between mind and body, recognizing the vital role food plays in mental health. Outside the office, you’ll often find me soaking up the sun on Tampa's beaches or exploring the latest culinary hotspots with my husband and two kiddos. When it's time to unwind, I love nothing more than diving into a good Netflix series or playing a board game with friends.

Originally hailing from Colorado, I traded mountains for palm trees in 2020 and haven't looked back. Nowadays, anything below 80 degrees feels positively chilly – a testament to my love for Florida's tropical weather!

Hi there! I'm Dakota, the Director of Client Care at Restored Purpose Counseling. My role involves connecting with those interested in our services, pairing them with the right clinician, and guiding them through the intake process. My background is a mix of clinical mental health counseling and administration. Calling Jacksonville home since 2011, I live with my husband and our two feline fur babies.

Beyond the office, my heart finds joy in quality time with family and friends, exploring new destinations, home decorating and organizing, & serving with my local church. I would describe myself as outsidey but not outdoorsy which involves walking out in nature. When not outside I love to recharge with all things cozy, like candles, fuzzy blankets, and cuddling up on the couch watching a movie or show.

Hi, I'm Amber! I am the billing coordinator at Restored Purpose Counseling. I am so excited to be a part of your health journey and I am here to help make navigating the world of health insurance an easy process for our clients. 

I have 10 years of healthcare experience, the majority of which is in mental healthcare billing. I am a certified healthcare compliance officer, as well as a certified healthcare biller and have a bachelor's degree in psychology. 

Outside of the office, I spend my time enjoying the beautiful PNW where I live. I love photography and run a website where I discuss local music news and events, and take photos at local concerts. My favorite way to spend a day is snuggled on the couch watching a show with a large iced coffee and my cat!
