If you found yourself landing on this page and reading my bio, there is a good chance that you are looking for life change and wondering if I am the right person for you. 

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Vero Beach, FL. I obtained my doctorate in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Health Psychology and Neuropsychology from. I have a well-balanced generalist and specialty experiences, having worked with a broad spectrum of clinically and culturally diverse populations across the lifespan in several clinical settings. 

As the daughter of a family physician, Dr. Leo Mandina, my interest in psychology began early as I would accompany him on his morning hospital rounds to visit his patients. It was through these experiences that I learned the importance of whole health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health) and developing meaningful therapeutic relationships.

​

I believe psychological interventions should go beyond mere discourse of addressing the presenting problems or diagnoses but understanding the person as a whole. I have a collaborative approach, that empowers and enables you to take charge of "what matters to you, not what is the matter with you" to improve your overall wellness overall quality of life. I will support you in your individual journey of growth and will tailor my approach to your specific needs.​ 

​

On a more personal note, I was born and raised here in Vero Beach, FL. I have strong appreciation for my family and husband, all who supported and continue to support me and my goals. For fun, I enjoy being outdoors, staying physically active, and spending time with my family, friends, and my fur babies.
