Before becoming a Physician Assistant, Jessica worked as a clinical research coordinator in a women’s health subspecialty and as a mental health worker in an acute inpatient psychiatric hospital.

These experiences strengthened her passion for behavioral health and reinforced the importance of compassionate, patient-centered care.

Jessica enjoys partnering with clients to better understand their symptoms, goals, and life experiences before developing an individualized treatment plan. She believes the best outcomes often come from combining evidence-based medication management with therapy, healthy lifestyle changes, and ongoing support.

By incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing techniques, and collaborative decision-making into her practice, she helps clients build meaningful, lasting improvements in their mental health and overall wellbeing.
