Listening to my patients and working together to create goals to improve their quality of life means everything in my job. I prioritize answering patient’s questions, and I promote their self-confidence so they can eventually continue their exercises independently at home.I specialize in orthopedics, sports rehabilitation and pediatric physical therapy. I treat patients who are post-operative and patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain. Healing techniques I use include manual therapy, dry needling and taping.I earned my undergraduate degree in exercise and movement science from University of Vermont (UVM) and completed my doctorate in physical therapy at UVM in 2014. I was a four-year varsity athlete at UVM on the Women’s Ice Hockey team and am currently a collegiate and international ice hockey referee. In 2022, I was a women’s hockey referee at the Beijing Olympics for the International Ice Hockey Federation.
