Jessica is working with the Ob/Gyn team and will begin seeing her own patients in early 2026.
Jessica grew up in Sugar Land, TX. In her free time, she loves music festivals, sharing a coffee with friends, exploring with her mini poodle, Ted, cuddling with her Sphynx cat, Philip, or dancing around town. Among her favorite area locales are The White Horse (for dancing), a coffee at Medici, and a swim at Common's Ford.

I chose to become a midwife because it is the advanced degree that incorporates all of my professional loves: pregnancy, babies, sex education, women's health, birth control, and assisting in Ob/Gyn surgeries. I was privileged to work with some excellent hospitalist midwives that truly solidified my plan to become a Certified Nurse Midwife. I believe in person-centered, family-led care that facilitates autonomy, promotes healthy living, and empowers the person in their healthcare decisions. My practice is a welcoming one that meets people where they are and provides evidence-based care with a holistic approach to wellness.
