After physical therapy school she continued her education, becoming a Certified Manual Physical Therapist (CMPT) from the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy in 2010.

She also enjoys treating adolescent sports injuries, post-surgical patients, runners, hip, shoulder, knee and spine related problems. She believes in individualizing care specific to the needs and situation of the patient, as well as empowering the patient to have an active role in their recovery.
