About Me:
Jessica was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona (bear down!). From 2018-2022 she practiced as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) where she provided OT services to preschool and early elementary aged children as a school-based and home health pediatric therapist. In May of 2024, Jessica was among the first graduating class of the Phoenix cohort of Creighton University’s esteemed Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. Jessica enjoys treating clients across the lifespan and believes in an evidence-based, holistic approach to care.

Outside the Clinic:
In her free time, Jessica enjoys spending time with her family, cuddling her fur babies, watching soccer, playing PC games, and cheering loudly for her Arizona Wildcats. She stays active by working out, playing golf, and training Muay Thai.
