Philosophy for Treatment

My aim with physical therapy intervention is to help people feel their best in all aspects of their health: body, mind, and spirit. Therefore, I often put an emphasis on incorporating lifestyle changes into treatment. In addition to hands-on techniques, I work hard to craft a comprehensive care plan that includes targeted exercises, behavioral modifications, self-treatment techniques, and so much more. I believe that therapy is an active process that requires patients to look at how they are currently living their life and work to make sustainable changes that better support their goals.

I also like to incorporate education throughout our time together. I do this so that my patients can understand what is going on in their bodies and be empowered to make real-time adjustments with their movements, as well as advocate for themselves. I don’t want patients to just come in and “get better,” I want to provide them with the resources they need to change their lives for the better.

What Made You Choose Physical Therapy?

I feel like it came to me naturally through life experiences, like it was meant to be! I was always fascinated with how the human body worked, likely because my parents had an influence on my view of health. I had a dad who was a firefighter and always talked about responding to emergencies, which I thought was pretty neat. Additionally, I had a mom who showed me the value of advocating for yourself with healthcare professionals and how to go about that. While in school, I excelled in all my health classes and pursued athletic training in college.

While I loved that career, I realized it was a lot of nights and weekends—and while young athletes are amazing, I wanted a bit more of a challenge. This led me to physical therapy school. While in school, I was introduced to the world of pelvic health and fell in love. From there, I experienced a clinical rotation, which made me realize that I was able to get people to trust me quickly and was skilled in having highly sensitive conversations with ease. It was the perfect challenge, and an industry I really enjoyed from the beginning…so I haven’t looked back since!
