Jessica grew up near Salt Lake City, Utah and opted to stay close to the mountains while she worked toward her Bachelor of Science at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. She then attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona and received her Doctor of Physical Therapy. Her interests within the profession include manual therapy, exercise- based intervention, and neuromuscular re-education techniques. She has taken several continuing education courses with the Institute of Physical Art is excited to continue growing her Functional Manual Therapy skills. One of Jessica’s favorite things about being a physical therapist is the opportunity the profession offers to connect with individuals of all backgrounds, circumstances, and perspectives. She finds her interactions with patients to be the most rewarding part of her job. Her ultimate goal is to be able to help even the most complex patients fully appreciate their potential for movement. She finds great joy in empowering individuals to participate in their desired activities at their desired level.

Outside of the clinic, Jessica prefers to spend most of her time outside. Depending on the season, you can find her downhill skiing, trail running, hiking, or water skiing. She also enjoys baking (and eating) sweet treats, relaxing with a good book, and traveling to new areas. She is always willing to try her hand at new activities and is excited to be in California for her next extended adventure.
