My favorite part about being a physical therapist is helping my patients grow and achieve their goals, seeing the impact it has in their everyday life is a reward in itself. I enjoy building trust with my patients and getting to know more about what motivates and drives them in order to help them work towards getting back to activities of daily living, sport, or recovering from injuries.

Clinical Interests
I have had the opportunity to treat the pediatric population ranging from 0 – 21 years with a variety of developmental and orthopedic conditions, such as developmental delay and torticollis/plagiocephaly. I thoroughly enjoy building a connection with the children and their families and assisting them in achieving big developmental milestones such as crawling, walking, jumping and more. Additionally, I have taken course certification to treat Pelvic Health (stress/urge urinary incontinence) for adults and look forward to being able to help individuals return to enjoying everyday activities and achieve their goals without pelvic dysfunction getting in the way.
Personal Interests
When not in the clinic, you can often find me curled up with my cat reading a book, tending to my garden, crocheting, or baking/cooking something yummy. I love trying new recipes and my favorite cuisine is Mediterranean/Middle Eastern.
