Licensed physical therapist with 13 years clinical experience providing outpatient rehabilitative services for adults, children and geriatric patient populations.
Graduate of a CAPTE-approved Master of Science in Physical Therapy (MSPT) program. Excellent typing and desktop publishing skills with the ability to positively
contribute to improving paper and electronic based documentation. My treatment approach emphasizes evidence-based interventions with careful attention to detail
and patient-first care. I am an advocate for healthcare reform which seeks to improve patient access to medically necessary rehabilitative, preventative and emergent
services and places the decision for necessary medical treatment and services back in the hands of licensed and/or certified healthcare professionals. I believe in the
need for organizational oversight to improve the quality of patient care that does not compromise the manner in which a clinician autonomously provides it under state
and federal law. My treatment philosophy is grounded in trying to recognize and be sensitive to individualizing rehabilitation based upon a patient's specific needs
and circumstances.
