When working with people, individually or in a group, I strive to provide mutual respect and empowerment. I make sure the patient knows that they are a key component of their health care team. Based on the patient’s needs, I utilize a variety of treatment techniques and provide ongoing education to assist in promoting the patient's understanding of the treatments. My interest in bone health is strong as it is our foundation. I enjoy teaching children how to be "healthy to the bone" as well as empowering adults through the Bone Health Management program. My hope is to decrease the number of fractures that occur. I enjoy gardening, antiques, crossword puzzles, reading, making rag rugs, crocheting, writing and watching the Green Bay Packers. Both my family and my church are important to me."
