Who we are

At The Core Physical Therapy my mission is to help you regain healthy movement so you can resume what you love to do. I achieve this by:

-Empowering you with more knowledge about your body;

-Providing tools and education to reduce, mitigate and eliminate pain and restore function;

-Assisting you in building resiliency and confidence;

-Inspiring you to take control of your movement even after you are no longer a client.

The name of the clinic, The Core Physical Therapy, was created out of a strong desire to assist clients in determining the root of their condition, while also holistically addressing it.

My passion runs deep in caring for the whole person. I strive to treat clients with respect and honor, meeting them where they are at in their healing journey, and striving to be a catalyst for positive change and transformation in more than just their physical bodies.

I provide highly skilled, evidence-informed, and compassionate care for people with pelvic floor dysfunction and related orthopedic issues. I apply my physical therapy expertise to my philosophy surrounding holistic-minded care. I view pelvic issues as a part of your whole body- not just limited to the muscles of your pelvic floor. From pregnancy through postpartum recovery, sexual health/intimacy challenges, persistent pain conditions, bowel/bladder problems, and the natural changes that occur throughout our life spans, my most important goal is to help you.
