As a physical therapist with a neurologic clinical specialty, I enjoy assisting patients with improving mobility, returning to activities of daily function, addressing balance deficits, and improving overall quality of life. I have 11 years of clinical experience working with patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and concussion, patients with vestibular impairments, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, patients with amputations, and those with neurologic-based movement disorders.
I also enjoy a multidisciplinary approach to providing care and have experience in working directly with prosthetists, orthotists, and wheelchair seating specialists in providing equipment to address mobility deficits.
I enjoy all things outdoors and have a longstanding passion for rock climbing, cycling, hiking, and fly fishing. When not at work, I can usually be found exploring alpine views with my fiancé and our dog, Finn.
