Overview

Services

I graduated from the Mayo School of Health Sciences in 1998 with a Master’s Degrees in physical therapy. I have provided physical therapy in various pediatric settings since graduation and received my certification for the NDT 8-Week Course in Management and Treatment of Children with Cerebral Palsy in 2002. In 2016 I became an APTA Board Certified Pediatric Clinical Specialist (PCS) and in January of 2021 I became the Ambulatory Supervisor of the PT/OT Department at the Milwaukee Campus. My care philosophy includes collaborating with the family and health care team to find ways to integrate fun and functional exercise into daily life in order to maximize function and meet patient and family goals.
