I am an ambitious and enthusiastic Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy and Licensed Massage Therapist with a passion for manual therapy, sports medicine, and establishing effective patient-therapist relationships in the outpatient orthopedic setting. My combination of clinical experience and education uniquely qualifies me to provide a multifaceted approach to injury management and prevention.
I am a firm believer that every patient and client deserves exceptional treatment that is personalized to their specific individual needs. In my practice, I have found that a combination of manual work followed by active corrective exercise is the most effective method of treatment for many of my patients and clients.
