  • 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!
