For me, physical therapy is more than just a career.  It is a way of life.  Physical wellbeing influences every aspect of daily living.  I realized this at a young age when going through injuries of my own.  Through my own personal challenges I discovered physical therapy and never veered off path of pursuing it as a career.

 

After graduating with a Master’s degree in physical therapy I moved to Washington DC to start my career as an orthopedic physical therapist.  Ten years later I am incredibly fortunate to love both my profession and living in DC.  I have spent the majority of my professional life in out-patient orthopedic settings treating injuries ranging from total joint replacements, overuse injuries, surgical repairs, to chronic pain, balance disorders, high level neurological conditions, and TMJ.  I have found the cliental in DC to be both highly motivated and active, and the return to sport or recreational activities to be a critical part of their life.  As a physical therapist these are wonderful patients to work with.  I am so excited to bring my skills and experience to my own clinic, to assist my clients in their return to wellness.

 

Through my career I have managed several out-patient clinics in DC, worked in rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, and hospital settings.  I am part of a continuing education company for practicing therapists.  With this I am able to lecture around the country and design online educational material.  I have co-authored articles in our professional literature, and I am dedicated to keeping up with the latest developments in physical therapy.

 

In 2009 I received a specialty certification in geriatric physical therapy.  While I do not treat this patient population exclusively, I do believe people of all ages deserve the best in care to reach the level of physical function which they desire.

 

In 2011 the timing seemed just right for a new professional direction and I was ready to take my skills and experience to the next level. With this new direction Connect Physical Therapy and Wellness opened to serve the DC community.
