My goal as a physical therapist is to be a collaborative partner on your journey toward better health. Our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal; if we treat them well. I am here to help you do just that. I have spent my 27 years of practice challenging myself to learn and master new skills that can assist patients in their healing. My practice emphasizes using my expertise to analyze the root cause of your problem and empower you with a customized treatment plan involving caring for both your body, and your mind. My most rewarding moments are when patients realize they can positively impact their symptoms and health with a learned postural change, breathing pattern, muscle activation or stretch.
I would love the opportunity to help you reach your health goals and continue with the activities you love. With quality physical therapy including targeted dry needling, joint mobilization/manipulation, and movement training with a bit of lifestyle medicine, you can reach your health goals with fewer costly invasive procedures and pharmaceuticals. I have not only successfully treated many patients this way, but also myself after a diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis.
When not working I enjoy daily yoga practice, hiking in the white mountains, and staying active. I am an empty nester in Exeter with my husband Richard. Our three 20 somethings, who were back home due to the pandemic, are again out on their own.
