She starts by listening to their story and works with them to create an individual treatment plan while ensuring they feel comfortable and confident. She is passionate about helping folks get back to activities that they love and finding joy in moving their bodies in whatever way is meaningful to them.

She treats using a biopsychosocial model of care and through a trauma informed lens.

Prior to the pandemic (and before she had kids), she spent most of her free time travelling and triathlon training.
