Get to Know Me

I became a physical therapist because I enjoy working with people and solving complex movement puzzles. Using a whole-person approach, I help patients better understand their condition, feel more confident in their recovery, and work toward meaningful solutions that support their goals.

I enjoy treating vestibular and balance disorders, concussions, TMJ dysfunction, general orthopedic conditions, and patients recovering from surgery. I also have a special interest in working with athletes, particularly runners and curlers. My advanced training includes American Institute of Balance Vestibular Certification Levels I and II, concussion rehabilitation, Level I dry needling training, and Level I training in osteopathic manual medicine and muscle energy techniques.

Outside the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two children, and two dogs. I also enjoy running, curling, reading, listening to podcasts, dancing in the kitchen, and baking sourdough bread. Each year, I try to complete one or two half marathons.
