I was drawn to the physical therapy profession in high school while working alongside the athletic trainer. My passion for sports, and experience with athletes of all levels, lead me to pursue my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from University of Colorado, Boulder. I continued on to Regis University where I finished my Masters of Science in Physical Therapy in 2001. I have worked in various outpatient orthopedic settings since, including being the contract physical therapist for the Colorado Ballet, The Rocky Mountain Rage, and the Colorado 14ers. I love all sports and have played as many of them as I can find the time for.

I have a strong background in manual treatment that includes myofascial release, joint mobilization, and am Level 2 Certified in Functional Dry Needling, a powerful neurophysiological reset to help patients recover from injury and perform at their peak. I am also a Level 2 Vestibular and Balance therapist. My treatments strive to identify the root cause of an injury or limitation to create lasting solutions to help clients move better, feel better, and improve performance. I am passionate about helping patients pursue their individual goals and maintain an active lifestyle in our beautiful state. Although you will no longer find me playing tackle football or rowing for CU, you may find me playing soccer, coaching my kids, refereeing a soccer game, playing ice hockey, completing a triathlon, snowshoe racing or snowboarding.

I look forward to meeting you and am here to help with any of your physical therapy needs.
