I am a physical therapist who strives to create a collaborative and supportive care experience for all of my patients. I am a Vermont native who received my Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Movement Science and Doctor of Physical Therapy from The University of Vermont. I prioritize providing evidence-based care with an emphasis on a holistic treatment approach. I specialize in treatment of orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, and balance and gait impairments. I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals to achieve their goals and return to participating in the activities that bring them joy. When I am not in the clinic, you can find me enjoying the beautiful Vermont outdoors.

I'm a physical therapist with a passion for helping people overcome pain and dysfunction. I grew up in Addison County and earned my undergraduate Mathematics degree and doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) degree from the University of Vermont. I also earned my orthopedic specialist certification (OCS) in 2019. 

Early on in my education I had a goal of learning enough to solve the problems that caused people physical pain and dysfunction. Unfortunately, because of the infinite complexity of the human body, I've had to rethink my goal of always solving every problem correctly (my math brain). The body is too complex to have a right answer. My adjusted goal is to never stop learning, to always stay current with the most recent evidence based research and treatments, and to solve each problem optimally. I’m grateful for the tool-set that physical therapy allows my practice and honored to be a practitioner who works with other medical professionals that place patients at the epicenter of their medical care. Every patient is unique and requires a unique approach to their treatment.

    It is always my focus to help patients manage pain, maximize function, and reach each individual goal while empowering them with the tools to self-manage their condition and prevent future recurrence.  As a clinician I practice extensively in orthopedics, sports medicine, balance and functional retraining, vestibular rehab, persistent pain, and concussion rehab.

    By appreciating the power and importance of evidence based medicine and active listening, I strive to consistently provide compassionate and comprehensive care to each and every patient. My goal is to build long-term, lasting relationships with my patients, and to treat every patient as if they are part of my family.
