Meet Dr. Jen

For nearly 20 years, I cared for young people within the traditional medical system—doing my best to help children, adolescents, and young adults facing complex, chronic health conditions and persistent pain. But over time, I began to feel a growing frustration. I kept seeing young people and their families caught in a cycle of endless appointments, mounting diagnoses, and more medications—yet never truly getting better. 

The system focused on symptoms, not stories. It offered labels instead of solutions. And too often, it overlooked the joy, the milestones, and the everyday life moments these kids were missing out on.

At the same time, I was fighting my own battle with autoimmune illness. After years of chasing answers through the same conventional model, I reached a turning point—and discovered something that changed everything. By embracing a whole-person approach that focused on root causes, not just disease management, I finally found my way back to health, energy, and clarity.

That experience lit a fire in me. I knew our young people deserved more.

So I began to reimagine how I could serve them. I started blending the latest in pain neuroscience, functional medicine, physical therapy and lifestyle strategies into a personalized health coach approach that honors the whole person. I took my clinical expertise and my lived experience—and built a model of care that goes beyond the exam room to truly help kids and teens THRIVE, not just survive.

Today, I’m here to support families who are ready for something different. Something more hopeful. More personal. More whole. Because every young person deserves the chance to live fully—and every family deserves a guide who truly listens and walks beside them.
