I am a Physical Therapist with 30+ years of experience. I’ve worked in every in-patient setting, including ICU, acute care, rehab, and even psychiatry. Areas of special interest include neurology (concussion, brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury), medically complex cases (ventilator-dependent, wounds, renal and cardiac disease, antibiotic-resistant infections), multi-trauma (fractures, internal injuries), and geriatrics. As a PT, I bring a very functional, real-world perspective to the impacts of illness and injury. Creative problem-solving is my bread and butter as a therapist and as a health advocate. The health care system is complex and overwhelming. My aim is to smooth the road and decrease your stress. I will accompany you to medical appointments to ensure that all questions are asked and answered. I will translate the medical jargon so that you fully understand it. I will collaborate with you on planning your next steps in a way that is in alignment with your values and goals. Other services th
