About me

I was born and raised in south Florida. I attended the University of Florida for my undergraduate degree then completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at South College. Upon completion of my DPT I completed residency training to receive an Orthopedic Specialty. I enjoy helping patients return to function and allow them to perform the hobbies they enjoy. My husband and I recently welcomed a baby boy and enjoy spending time as a family with our two dogs as well.

My approach to care

My approach to care is very much evidence based and patient focused. I like to take into account the whole person I am treating as opposed to just the body region. I think patient education can go a long way in recovery and further injury prevention as well. I like to teach my patients the tools they need to accomplish and maintain their function.

What my clients can expect from our first session together

Clients can expect to receive individualized care and a collaborative plan for how we are going to proceed with their care.
