My Background:

After receiving a bachelors of science from Western Washington University, I earned my doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Puget Sound. I have continued to expand my knowledge and skills through ongoing education and certifications, including the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, lymphedema, cancer rehabilitation, and a board certification as a specialist in orthopedics. I am committed to staying at the forefront of the latest advancements in physical therapy to offer my patients the most effective and evidence-based treatments available.

My lymphedema certification is through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies. I am trained in Complete Decongestive Therapy, including manual lymph drainage (Vodder Method) and compression bandaging.

My Approach:

My approach to physical therapy is patient-centered and holistic. I understand that every individual is unique, and I take the time to listen to your concerns, assess your condition, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. I understand a lot of the specific needs of patients undergoing cancer treatment and am prepared to assist with this. I believe that effective communication and education are key components of successful therapy, and I'm here to answer your questions and guide you throughout your journey to recovery.

What Sets Me Apart:

I am not only dedicated to the physical aspects of your treatment but also to your overall well-being. I take pride in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where you can feel empowered to take control of your health. My goal is to help you achieve optimal physical function, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life.

As a former rower for WWU, I continue to be active in the rowing community with the Whatcom Rowing Association. Sometimes I’m rowing, sometimes volunteering. Additionally, I enjoy swimming, running slowly, and strength training. When not in the office or on the water I love spending time with my husband and three children.
