ABOUT ME
I am a Physical Therapist, Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) and Functional Nutrition for Chronic Pain provider (FNCP) . My passion is in helping adults with chronic health conditions live their fullest, most active and pain-free lives.
​
​
My treatment combines evidence based care and my own personal experience with chronic illness to provide effective, holistic, and compassionate care for each patient. I believe in empowering each patient with knowledge and understanding of their condition to give them the best chance of success. Because of my own journey with several chronic illnesses, I can relate to patients frustrated with their many challenges.
​
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters, traveling, being outdoors, art and reading.
