Originally from Northeast Ohio, my journey led me to Columbus, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Health Sciences at Ohio State University. Fueling my passion for healthcare, I then ventured to the vibrant city of Miami, Florida, pursuing a doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Miami, where I graduated with honors. The allure of the southwest coast of Florida, nurtured through family vacations, drew me to Naples after completing my studies.

 

In the course of my professional development, a fascination with the transformative power of physical therapy on the pelvic floor emerged. Beyond the curriculum of my doctoral program, I sought additional expertise through continuing education courses and hands-on experience in Nevada, delving into the nuanced realm of pelvic floor dysfunction. My practice extends beyond pelvic health to encompass a spectrum of conditions, including orthopedic, gastrointestinal, and neurological disorders. Recognizing the interconnectedness of these issues with pelvic floor dysfunction, I tailor treatments to address the unique needs of each patient.

​

My overarching mission is to empower individuals of diverse backgrounds—regardless of gender, race, or age—to thrive in their homes, communities, and social spheres. I am committed to collaborative care, partnering with my patients to foster active participation and control in their healing journey. Beyond immediate interventions, my focus is on long-term success, building confidence, and enabling patients to independently apply the skills acquired in physical therapy beyond the formal intervention.
