About

Biography

I’m a physical therapist specializing in developmental physical therapy and gait analysis. As an outpatient physical therapist, I care for children who have or are at risk of developing cerebral palsy, as well as for children with other conditions such as hemophilia and Down syndrome.

I believe family-centered care is essential for achieving the best outcomes. A child’s parents and caregivers are experts when it comes to their children. I find they often know what they want to work on during their physical therapy sessions. My goal is to provide family-centered care in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment that works toward achieving their goals.

When not working with my patients, I enjoy reading and scrapbooking. I also spend time watching my three children play multiple sports.
