Jennifer’s clinical interests include sensory integration, trauma-informed care, responsive feeding, and mental health in pediatrics. Her background includes outpatient and acute care in pediatrics, inpatient rehab, home health, and skilled nursing.

Family Story
We have been so incredibly lucky to have Jennifer as our occupational therapist for our children. She is kind, cares about our children’s wellbeing and happiness, and is involved in the community. We have seen so much progress in our children’s day-to-day abilities since they have started working with her seven months ago! I believe that Jennifer is not only passionate about pediatric OT, but she was born to do it!
