Patients Seen: All Ages

I believe that in order for a patient to find suc­cess and sat­is­fac­tion in their phys­i­cal ther­a­py expe­ri­ence, we must estab­lish mutu­al trust and open com­mu­ni­ca­tion at the very first vis­it. I make it a top pri­or­i­ty to edu­cate my patients on the how” and why” behind my treat­ment strate­gies, and I want every patient to be an active par­tic­i­pant in their own rehab jour­ney. My goal is for my patients to feel ful­ly inde­pen­dent in their abil­i­ty to meet and exceed their own goals well beyond the end of their time with me in phys­i­cal therapy.

Out­side of work I enjoy spend­ing time with my fam­i­ly and friends at game nights and local triv­ia events. My exer­cise pas­sions are rock climb­ing and run­ning, and most of my sum­mer week­ends are spent on hik­ing and camp­ing trips. I love music of all kinds, and enjoy lis­ten­ing to live bands and play­ing music with my family.
