    Biography

    What I Do
    My philosophy of care is that I like to treat the whole person with honesty and sensitivity, allowing space for individual differences between people and their unique lives. I enjoy helping patients regain function after loss, helping them enter into their home lives and into the community again. I also enjoy the psychology of rehabilitation. I am very patient, and it is okay if it takes months to years to see the final improvement in my patients.

    Why I Love My Work
    I love the people I work with and the patients and families I meet along the way. I enjoy supporting my patients when they have had a traumatic experience or loss. I will help them and allow them to have enough space for grief and hope.

    Getting to Know Me
    Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exercising, hiking, nutrition and cooking. I also love spending time with my husband and sons.
