“I prefer to treat the patient as a whole and not focus solely on the diagnosis. I find that building a relationship with a patient and finding out the details of what ails them leads to better results. It is always a goal

of mine to help the patient feel an overall improvement from the inside out.”

I BECAME A PHYSICAL THERAPIST BECAUSE…

“I have always wanted to work in the health care field but being squeamish limited my scope of options. 

Once I learned more about the possibility of being a Physical Therapist, I never had a doubt in my mind 

that I was going to pursue that career. I have been involved with sports, health and fitness for most of 

my life and now I have the privilege to help and weekend warriors alike.

WHAT’S MOST EXCITING ABOUT MY JOB?

“Meeting new people, hearing their stories and being a small part in their life and journey to recovery.”

INTERESTS
