A woman whose journey through medicine, military service, and motherhood has shaped a deeply compassionate and functional approach to care. Jennifer brings over a decade of experience as a physician assistant, having started her military career as a logistics officer in the U.S. Army in 2009. She graduated from the prestigious Interservice Physician Assistant Program in 2015 and has continued serving her country with distinction in the Army Reserves.
Her strength and steadfastness are evident not only in her service but in the way she shows up for her patients with deep empathy, clinical excellence, and a fierce commitment to root-cause healing. Since 2020, she’s worked in telepsychiatry, supporting mental wellness with a lens of whole-person care. But what truly ignited her calling was her personal battle with chronic health challenges.
After years of struggling with weight cycling, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and being told to “just lose weight” despite normal labs and zero answers, Jennifer leaned into functional medicine. Books, podcasts, and personal research led her to discover what the traditional “sick care” model had missed-and she knew she had to bring that same empowerment and insight to her patients. Jennifer’s philosophy? “It’s simple…It’s not easy.” She reminds her patients to aim for progress, not perfection, and walks with them through real-life change, not just quick fixes.
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Jennifer is a proud wife of 15 years and mama to three energetic boys, plus one loyal dog and a curious cat. Outside the clinic, she’s likely camping, hiking, biking, running, or downhill skiing with her crew. She starts her mornings with a 10-minute meditation while the coffee brews and stays grounded through daily gratitude and a practice she calls “gladdening the mind intentionally savoring joyful moments.
And a couple of fun facts: she was once a high school football cheerleader and has a deep love for evolutionary biology. On hikes, you’ll find her teaching her boys how to examine animal bones and think about health from an ancestral lens. And yes-her Army service still surprises people.
