Patients Seen: Adolescents and Adults
I strive to build a ther­a­peu­tic rela­tion­ship with my patient by under­stand­ing what is tru­ly impor­tant to them. By doing this, I am able to devel­op client-cen­tered inter­ven­tions based on each patien­t’s favored occu­pa­tions to facil­i­tate achiev­ing set therapeutic/​collaborative goals.

Clinical Interests
Hand/​Orthopedics and Neu­ro­log­i­cal reha­bil­i­ta­tion have been a true pas­sion of mine through­out my career as an Occu­pa­tion­al Ther­a­pist. Specif­i­cal­ly, I am pas­sion­ate about treat­ment upper extrem­i­ty injuries, includ­ing hand, wrist, elbow, and shoul­der, due to my per­son­al expe­ri­ence in out­pa­tient ortho­pe­dics as a child.
Personal Interests
I enjoy being out in nature, attend­ing sport­ing events, trav­el­ing, exer­cis­ing, and spend­ing time with fam­i­ly, friends, and my fam­i­ly’s puppy.
