Hello, I’m Jessica, a career coach and psychiatric nurse practitioner preceptor

Specializing in a functional and integrative
approach to mental health

CAREER GUIDANCE

Not your average PMHNP-BC preceptor

For students passionate about the holistic side of mental health care, I’ll be your mentor for both your daily practice and your career trajectory.

Private practice, tax, and legal knowledge

Wondering what it would be like to be your own boss and run your own practice? I will share what I’ve learned about private practice, business, tax, and legal.

Functional, integrative mental healthcare

Interested in functional medicine? My education and experience revolve around functional, nutritional, and integrative psychiatry. I’ll show you how to bring a holistic lens to your practice.

Deep listening and respect for clients

Did you choose this path because you want to genuinely help? Me too. I’ll show you how to listen deeply and provide exceptional customer service for better client outcomes.

Am I the right preceptor psychiatric nurse practitioner for you?

YES, if you are…

Excited about a career in psychiatry 

Genuinely curious about holistic and functional approaches

Motivated to start your own practice soon or someday

Compassionate to clients, viewing them as a person not a number

Looking for a nurse practitioner who has precepted over 100 students

Want to feel as prepared as possible when you graduate!

If you’re just looking to fulfill your clinical hours and have no genuine interest in holistic psychiatry or functional medicine, I’m not the PMHNP preceptor for you.

    “Jessica is AMAZING! The compassion she has with her patients is unmatched. I’m so grateful for the education, tips, and encouragement she gave me this quarter. I love that she uses functional medicine to create a holistic treatment plan and medications. She’s not pushing pills; she encourages patients to develop lifestyle changes. After completing my education under her preceptorship, I am confident I will be a competent Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I could not have asked for better support and guidance in my graduate program. I know that after every educational encounter, I will learn something new that I can use to help heal my patients. I appreciate her so much for that!

    “Thank you so much for a great rotation ! It was such a pleasure to work with you and to learn from you. Your holistic approach to treatment is something that really brought in my understanding of what providers can do to help patients with psychiatric conditions. In school, we only ever learn about prescription medications as treatment modalities so I consider myself fortunate to have had the privilege of observing your clinical cases! I will definitely carry forward all the things that I have learned from you and I can only hope that I will one day be able to become a provider as kind, empathetic, and efficient as you. Thank you so much again for taking the time to teach students given your already packed schedule. I sincerely hope that our paths may cross again in the future or that at least I run into other teachers and mentors as wonderful as you.”

    “Over the past month, you have been an amazing teacher. You have been a true inspiration, always wearing a smile on your face and genuinely caring about your patients. I’ve learned valuable lessons that extend beyond medicine. You were one of the stand out role models among the health practitioners I have encountered throughout medical school. Thank you for being so kind, open-minded, curious and passionate about what you do. Thank you for caring so much. About the patients, about the students, and about every little thing. You really do make a difference with the work you do. The experience with you has been incredible and you’ll always have a special place in my story. A sincere thank you for everything.”
