I have worked with patients in a variety of specialties throughout my career, including pediatrics, wound care, acute care, and geriatrics. I have always maintained a deep passion for orthopedics. This led me to pursue training and certification in multiple manual-based disciplines which in turn, allows me to do what I love: get my patients back to their preferred activities and enrich their quality of lives.

I graduated from the Rutgers University of Medicine and Dentistry New Jersey in 2012 and have worked primarily in outpatient settings affiliated with hospitals both in New Jersey and Florida prior to moving to Oregon. I am currently taking continuing education courses to specialize in Pelvic Health for cisgender women and patients who identify as LGBTQIA+. I also have a special interest in aiding those that are postpartum to be able to return to exercise. I strive to respect the dignity of each individual and to treat all equitably. I am motivated to help you heal so you can get you back to the activities you love.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and my pup exploring Oregon and all it has to offer. I also enjoy Pilates, gardening, and fostering for local rescues to help dogs and cats find their forever homes.

As a healthcare provider at Northwest Therapy, my commitment to my patients is to work with you to reach the quality of life you are striving to achieve. The most satisfying aspect of my work is seeing patients achieve their goals while helping them overcome various obstacles through our therapy journey. My hope is that we work together in order to reach the best possible outcomes for your day-to-day life.
Originally from Tennessee, I was a travel physical therapist for 5 years. I had two different contracts in the Pacific Northwest, and the nature, food, and coffee brought me back to make Portland home. I enjoy hiking with my dog Simba, checking out different neighborhoods to try new food and coffee, and staying active at the gym or hiking in the Columbia River Gorge. My favorite part of living here is being able to see the ocean and go to the mountain in one day if I wanted to!

I spent many years as a travelling therapist and have worked at hundreds of locations doing all sorts of therapy, ranging from neurological rehab, acute care in hospitals, sports therapy, even serving as an expert witness in trials. I served as director of a clinic providing therapy primarily for on-the-job work injuries for many years and while there completed a manual therapy certification program, including over 160 hours of training.
In addition to spending quality time with my wife and daughter, in my spare time I also enjoy camping, backpacking, cycling, playing guitar, photography, and home improvement projects.
