Clinical Interests
My clinical interest revolves around providing coordinated care for children and adults with childhood onset and/or life-long diagnoses. Orthopedic manifestations of chronic disease including: neuromuscular and movement disorders, childhood stroke, childhood TBI, and more recently, hemophilia.
Care Philosophy
As a physical therapist for individuals who often rely on many specialists', my goal is to provide not only incredible physical therapy intervention, but also to mange highly coordinated teams on behalf of my patients. I value personal relationships with my patients, families and colleagues and rely on these collaborations to get each patient the care they need.

Personal Interests
Outside of work, I chase around my 3 little red heads (ages 8, 5 and 3), enjoy my husbands cooking, and occasionally go for a run. You might also find me at the Barre.
