Founder, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Cert- CMFA
I began my Physical Therapy journey in 2016 after a career change from neuroscience and biosafety, graduating in 2015 with honors from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Diego. Utilizing a diverse skill set including manual therapy, neuro-motor planning, and personalized programming, I seek the root cause of the problem and treat accordingly.
My main values are patient education, empowerment, and truly listening to my patients to provide excellence in care and create a cohesive plan that fits into their (sometimes hectic) lives.
My story of becoming a PT is a bit unusual; In high school, I suffered a back injury and received very poor quality PT. Frustrated with their treatment plan, I decided to self discharged and proceeded to try to fix it on my own. During college and beyond, I was plagued with recurrent back pain, ending up in the emergency room following a particularly brutal lacrosse game. 6 years after graduating, I had enough and enrolled in PT school, where I began taking the first steps to heal my mind and body. After learning what proper therapy should involve, I went from being unable to run 4 steps without pain to being able to return to running and Crossfit pain free.
So why start Q4? Well, you can read the whole story here but in short I was tired of feeling like I wasn’t fully helping people just putting band aids on things.
When I’m not treating patients, you can find me with my husband, son, and dog traveling or out in the fresh air playing lacrosse. Not only am I a Crossfitter, but I also work with Westborough youth lacrosse in movement/plyometric training, as well as coaching their 7/8th grade women’s team. I also learn a new sport each year – 2024 is the year of becoming a better tennis player!
