I was born and raised in Brevard and attended college at UNC Chapel Hill where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy. I married a native Transylvanian, Chris, and his Air Force duties allowed us to enjoy the northwest, deep south, and midwest before returning to Western North Carolina. Along the way we added 3 kids to our family, Allie, Wes, and Luke, and they also enjoyed the experience of being raised in this amazing area, growing up on the family farm that my husband's family has tended to for over a century. I have spent the past 20 years serving the residents of ours and neighboring communities in the home health and outpatient settings. I returned to academia in 2022, earning my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Shenandoah University in 2024. As an experienced therapist with over 31 years of practice, I stay up to date with the latest research and advancements in physical therapy. Being a life long learner allows me to provide my patients with evidence-based high-quality care for optimal recovery and long term wellness. I am passionate about getting you back to what you enjoy!
I work with you to develop personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs and goals, taking the time to understand your condition and develop a plan that helps you achieve optimal results. I am education and empowerment centered, equipping you to take the lead in your recovery and wellness.
I provide hands-on therapy services, including manual therapy and therapeutic massage, to help reduce pain and improve function. I use a range of techniques to help improve mobility, flexibility, and overall health.
I provide injury prevention services to help you stay healthy and active education on injury prevention, and personalized exercise programs to help you avoid injuries and maintain your health.
I provide expert rehabilitation for post-surgery patients, collaborating with your physician to create a personalized plan that helps you recover quickly and regain mobility.
I utilize the latest technology in infrared goggles to provide rapid symptom relief from positional vertigo, facilitating a return to the activities you enjoy. Assessments are provided for other causes of dizziness and managed with vestibular rehabilitation techniques and education to manage unwanted symptoms effectively.
I offer comprehensive assessments and evidenced-based treatments that address the physiological changes associated with aging, such as reduced muscle mass, joint stiffness, declining bone density, and decreased balance and flexibility. Through targeted interventions, I aim to mitigate the effects of these age-related changes, enhance functional mobility, and promote neuromuscular health. My goal is to help you maintain optimal movement patterns, reduce fall risk, and support long-term physical independence.
