I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from Ithaca College, in Ithaca, New York. I have been primarily practicing in the state of Alaska since 2015. I have worked in outpatient orthopedic, military, acute care, and skilled nursing environments.

 

I am a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, and have been trained in many effective modalities including functional dry needling, Kinesiotaping, Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork, and the Atlasprofilax method. Most recently, I have begun the journey of learning Fascial Counterstrain. Fascial Counterstrain is a holistic approach that allows for the proper identification and treatment of the true source of your pain, rather than only treating localized symptoms with temporary relief. 

​

I believe in lifelong learning and continual self-improvement. When it comes to client care, I pride myself in quality over quantity. My services alone are not the cause for success – it is a team effort where success can only come from active listening, constant feedback and YOUR active participation in the treatment plan as well.

​

I understand how physically and mentally exhausting pain or injury can be. I believe in both evidence-based and alternative methods that educate and empower you. No two people are alike. I am passionate about helping others and am excited about the possibility of helping you achieve your goals. I am dedicated to your success and am grateful to have the opportunity to serve an incredible community!

​

I am a child at heart and in my free time, I enjoy exploring everything the outdoors has to offer – running, hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, camping, gardening, snowboarding, and skiing. I also love to travel, bake, garden, and play the flute. You can find me occasionally performing with the Mat-Su Concert Band.
