Owner/Physical Therapist
Throughout my early career as a therapist, I was frustrated with my ability to make a tangible difference for my patients, especially with the time limits placed on my interactions with them. I deeply wanted to help my patients relieve their pain, but seeing multiple patients at a time, as well as having a highly regimented schedule, left me disappointed. Physical Therapy in Motion is my solution for having more satisfying outcomes for my patients.
My certification in McKenzie’s Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, enables healing for my patients through a reliable, evidence-based system. I structure treatments and implement practical interventions that work. I show patients how to understand their bodies and treat themselves. Simply put, it’s my passion to see people empowered with a long-term solution for their care.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, I grew up playing volleyball and competing with my seven brothers and sisters. I attended the University of Kentucky for my undergraduate degree and The Ohio State University where I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
I currently live in Brentwood with my family. I love traveling, hiking, connecting with nature, and reading. As an athlete, I’m competitive by nature and have even completed a few marathons and half Ironmans!
The McKenzie Method is a biopsychosocial system of musculoskeletal care emphasizing patient empowerment, self-treatment, and patient education. This movement based system of diagnosis and patient management offers a reliable and practical approach to acute, subacute and chronic conditions of the spine and extremities.
We value your time and effort so you deserve our undivided attention to get the most out of each session. We also offer constant contact. Don’t wait! We encourage communication via our patient message portal to answer questions or tweak your program between visits.
We believe in empowering you by prescribing specific exercises, helpful postures, and activity modifications that give you the control, not your condition. Often we can identify 1-2 simple movements on day one that will immediately impact your symptoms.
We train you for a successful transition past our care – for life. We teach you practical ways to prevent recurrence, tips for early detection and how to self-treat should they recur.

GOATA stands for Greatest Of All Time Actions. It is a movement system that is centered around slow-motion observation of the world’s most durable humans. The program is a process of “recoding” or reverse engineering the movement cycle to restore to the innate design for human movement.
