Philosophy:
I decided to pursue a degree in physical therapy after realizing this was a unique field where I could gain the potential to help each and every individual that crosses my path. I earned my Doctorate Of Physical Therapy from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2016.
In the real world, I quickly noticed my colleagues going through caregiver burnout. This may be due to frustrations from lack of autonomy because insurance companies place themselves between the clinician and patient and attempt to dictate treatment parameters, or may be due to unsustainable productivity standards due to lack of reimbursement from these same insurance companies. Because of this, the physical therapy field is at a crossroads. I’m not the only one who sees it. I have joined like-minded therapists who want to be a part of the solution, regaining and restoring the love and attractiveness of the physical therapy profession.
I believe in treating my patients as if they were family and look forward to partnering with them through their rehabilitation process. With physical therapy, I have the privilege of forming meaningful relationships with individuals and at the same time get to help these same individuals recover from certain impairments or injuries.
