Each new patient that I work with provides me with another learning opportunity, as each body processes pain and dysfunction in a somewhat unique way. I gain great satisfaction in my work by using my advanced manual therapy techniques to help a patient become more comfortable and functional. I also focus on providing the tools and information for patients to manage their conditions independently.

Although I love treating a wide array of orthopedic conditions, I have a strong interest and educational background in women's health issues, TMJ, and spinal disorders. I have especially found manual therapy and postural repositioning techniques to be useful to both treat and manage clients. I believe in treating each person as an individual and customizing their care accordingly.
