Get to Know Me
With me, you can expect a little bit of fun sprinkled into sessions to solve the root problem. You can expect a “go with the flow” therapist who cares about patients as a whole person. With my community, I love it because it’s a big small town full of interesting people. I get to meet new people everyday but also can become a part of an entire family’s care team. Bismarck is also fun with much to do! I also have the best coworkers in the world! We are always encouraging each other to be better in a variety of life’s areas. I am better because of them.
I am a physical therapist because I enjoy people and puzzles. Physical therapy is a movement science that allows me to solve puzzles daily while helping people become the best versions of themselves. It’s a gift to be able to serve people in this capacity. I also enjoy sharing knowledge with people. This is a great way to share knowledge, too! It’s inspiring when people come in with little understanding of their condition and are relieved to hear the explanation of what is wrong. That leads to an amazing episode of care typically!
Outside of work I’m a mom, so the current stage of life is helping my kids become better humans while getting them snacks often! Some activities I enjoy include running, reading or listening to books and podcasts, dance parties in the kitchen, and cooking. Oh, and I enjoy a good joke.
