My path to become a physical therapist was initially inspired by witnessing my beloved grandma work tirelessly, under the patient encouragement of her physical therapists,  to recover from a stroke when I was 9.  My interest deepened further when I became a physical therapy patient myself after tearing my ACL during my senior basketball season. Heartbroken over not being able to finish my last season in my favorite sport, my therapist helped me look towards the positive and focus on the aspects of my recovery I could control.  Finally, it was my own long struggle with chronic pelvic pain that led me to dive into the specialities of pelvic health and chronic pain.  It was learning about these often complex specialities, and some of my favorite forward thinking professors at the University of Miami, that sparked an interest in approaching physical therapy from an integrative, holistic perspective.  In the end, the common thread in all aspects of my journey wasn't rooted in a specific diagnosis or sport, but in the opportunity to be a part of a profession that helps people heal wholly in body, mind and spirit.

Anyone who knows me well would describe me as an endlessly curious lifelong learner- especially when it comes to the human body!  In my pusuit of shifting the traditional physical therapy paradigm, I've furthered my education and training in integrative health coaching, pelvic health, yoga & Pilates, and specialized bodywork such as myofascial release and visceral manipulation. I enjoy the challenge of digging into the true root of health issues, and the profound reward that comes seeing my patients fall back in love with movement and their bodies.
