Bio: I received my Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of California at San Francisco, my Masters in Public Health from the University of California at Los Angeles, and my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Boston University.

I strive to provide patient-centered physical therapy that meets each patient’s individual goals and maximizes their overall function. I love my career because it is an ever-changing opportunity to give, learn and grow. I am proud to work at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital where the culture of the rehabilitation department encourages creativity and teamwork to provide therapy services in ways that strive to meet all of the health needs of the individual.

I have almost 20 years of experience in hospital acute care, outpatient services, and home health care working with adolescent through geriatric populations. I specialize in falls prevention and regaining balance and mobility for neurological populations such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. I also have extensive experience in rehabilitation of patients after surgeries and with a wide variety of orthopedic injuries.

I am a clinical instructor at the University of Washington in the Department of Rehabilitation, School of Physical Therapy, a published researcher in the Journal of the American Physical Therapy Association and a national presenter for the American Physical Therapy Association.

My personal interests include spending time with my family and friends, riding and training my rescued Thoroughbred ex-racehorse, skiing, and hiking with my dogs in the beautiful foothills of the Cascades.
