Jessica is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), with training in Crisis Prevention. Her diverse background includes experience in working within hospitals managing medically complex patients and within mental health nursing, particularly for vulnerable populations such as adolescents and individuals with intellectual disabilities. Jessica has worked with both children and adults who face mood disorders (ex. anxiety/depression, bipolar, etc), social/emotional challenges, trauma, cognitive issues, and intellectual disabilities. Jessica is committed to providing patient-centered, team-based, and holistic care. She aims to bridge the gap between mental and physical health, with advocacy, safety, and compassion as the core pillars of her approach. Her treatment method combines traditional psychotropic medications and psychotherapy, along with holistic interventions like meditation, biofeedback, and herbal supplements/vitamins. (Please note, therapies are provided alongside medication management appointments; Jessica does not offer psychotherapy-only sessions at this time.) Jessica is a proud member of the American Nurses Association. In her personal time, Jessica enjoys spending time with her family and four legged companion.
