My philosophy of treatment includes a team approach with the patient and myself. I use a combination of manual therapy and exercise prescription to restore function. I chose physical therapy as a career because of my desire to help individuals overcome injury and return to their previous level of function. I have always had a passion for athletics, which led me towards outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine. As a once injured, DIII collegiate volleyball and basketball player I understand the desire, motivation and commitment it takes to overcome injury. I also understand the importance of a caring a knowledgeable therapist."
