Bio

I have been with Breakthru since 2007 when I started as a student. What drew me to Breakthru was the emphasis on evidence-based practice and professional development. I have kept this love for education and have served as an adjunct faculty at Rutgers University and now serve as Breakthru’s director of clinical education.

Clinically, I am interested in many diagnoses, but I have a special interest in pediatrics and sports medicine. I love manual therapies and incorporate them into almost all of my treatments. My specialty areas and areas of interest include pediatric sports medicine and orthopedics, concussion management, scoliosis management, running, and endurance sports, spine, and general orthopedics.

I have had specialty training in the areas of manual therapy for the extremities and spine, concussion, kinesiotaping, active release, golf assessment, and others.

I like working with a variety of patients but particularly enjoy working with patients that have not responded to therapy and trying to figure out what didn’t work and how I can get them better.

I take a lot of pride in what I do and put a lot of critical thought into my care. What got me interested in physical therapy is my love to help people and my involvement in Jujitsu.
