Physical Description Jennifer is of average height and weight for a human of her age. In fact, everything about Jennifer could be described as simply "average." Neither overly pretty nor homely, the Doctor tends to wear her hair down in a cascading bob that reaches just above her shoulders. Dark eyes stare from beneath her bangs and some say her gaze pierces the soul with just a look. When not attired in a Starfleet uniform, Jennifer tends towards more conservative dress, preferring earth tones to anything colorful or flashy.

Personality & Traits

General Overview As psychiatrists go, Jennifer is all about feelings, as one might expect. But to her, therapy isn't just about getting unexpressed feelings to the surface: it's about doing something with those feelings. She has been known to press patients into coming up with realistic action plans that buck the status quo and address problems head on. Jennifer can be soft, caring, and compassionate; she can also be steely, resilient, and quietly strong. Which Jennifer you get depends on how many times you've brought problems to her without being truly interested in their potential solutions.
Strengths & Weaknesses Strengths:

* Extremely professional
* Accurate psychoanalysis
* Supportive encouragement
* Gritty determination
* Sees the bigger picture of a person
* Incredibly giving of her time

Weaknesses:

* Overly harsh on herself
* Self-perfectionist
* Laughs at inappropriate social moments
* Sometimes lives in the past
* Can be harsh and unforgiving at times
Ambitions Jennifer believes most therapists are too coddling with their patients, especially when it comes to Starfleet personnel. She believes they've often been babied and, as a result, talk about their feelings without actually doing anything about them. Jennifer aims to reinvent Starfleet psychiatric and therapeutic practices, focusing on self-determinism and goal setting as a way of moving people past their pain. She one day hopes to bring her practices to Starfleet Medical as their resident Chief of Psychiatric Medicine.
