Bio

My passion for physical therapy began when I witnessed first-hand the significant impact physical therapy can have on a person's life.
When my mother was diagnosed with ALS, I was amazed at how physical therapy transformed not only her activities of daily living,
but her ability to be a mother to me. I knew I had to peruse a career where I can make a difference in people's lives.
I began my career at NYU's DPT program and found my niche in orthopedic sports. Here at Professional Physical Therapy, I have
developed a treatment strategy that involves active listening, building self-efficacy, and helping others achieve their goals.
