"As a pediatric physical therapist, I believe in meeting a baby and their family where they are on their journey. I aim to support comprehensive needs of baby and family along the way. This means becoming a part of the baby’s world and prioritizing what is important to the baby and family to achieve. Meeting physical and emotional needs of a baby and their family is critical to achieve optimal outcomes through physical therapy.

As a parent, I believe that my worlds as a pediatric physical therapist and mom complement one another in a special way.  Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I look forward to learning more about you and your precious baby!"
