  What I Do

  My philosophy of care centers on the belief that providing a clear explanation of a diagnosis and how therapy can help is essential. I enjoy talking and connecting with patients because building a strong patient-therapist rapport is a key aspect of effective physical therapy.

  Clinically, I have a special interest in working with LSVT-Big, neuro, and orthopedic patients, though I enjoy treating a wide variety of cases.

  Why I Love My Work

  What I truly love about my job is the opportunity to treat patients while building meaningful relationships with them. I also appreciate how close-knit our rehab team is, which makes coming to work enjoyable.

  Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field. After experiencing physical therapy myself, I discovered my calling as a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA). I chose to become a PTA because it allows me to spend more time with patients, fostering stronger connections.

  Getting to Know Me

  Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors working on my garden or my flowers, along with taking care of my plants inside my house. Spending time with my husband and our families is very important to me and is often what I am doing on the weekends or after work. Reading books is something I highly enjoy as well.
