After working for several years as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Jennifer identified that many of her patients had mental health needs that were not being met in a Family Practice setting. She determined that she would like to expand her training and enrolled in the Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner program at UT Health Science Center Houston and completed her post-masters certification in 2020.

Jennifer is passionate about providing holistic care and addressing her patient’s mental health needs while staying in-tune with their overall physical health.
