Hello! I'm Jessica; a licensed, registered Occupational Therapist, and Certified Lactation Counselor. I started my career in outpatient adults and after having my first child switched gears to work with the pediatric population. Throughout my work with children of all ages, I have found that I truly love working with infants and their families. I have found that creating a strong foundation from birth is an optimal way to help infants grow, thrive, and live their best quality of life. I pursued more advanced trainings after significant respiratory dysfunction with my second child to help families who are having difficulties with respiratory function, tethered oral ties, and torticollis. 

​

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication at Indiana University and my Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy at Governor's State University. I am currently licensed with the state of Michigan and registered with the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy. My certification for lactation counselor is through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice.
