What I Do

I strive to make my patients feel that they are heard and that I fully understand their needs to deliver the highest quality of care possible. I strive to get to know my patients holistically as many aspects of their lives can impact their health and ability to heal. My special clinical interests include TMJ, neck, shoulder, knee, and feet.

Why I Love My Work

I love the ability to truly get to know my patients due to the nature of care requiring many people to attend physical therapy for several visits. I have been fortunate to meet people of all walks of life, which is also so fun.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy biking, running, hiking, walking, reading, cooking, doing puzzles, exploring Minnesota’s north shore, and doing various activities with my family and friends.
