I am originally from Raleigh, NC, and played elite-level soccer starting at 10 years old. I have participated in the Olympic Development Program, competed at the Region III level and played for UNC Chapel Hill's Club team. My love for athletics allowed me to discover my passion for biomechanics and how the human body functions.

​

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Exercise & Sport Science with Honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2016 and went on to receive my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from a Top 10 Program- the University of Florida in 2019. I then made my way down to Palm Beach County to be with my husband, who is a South Florida native.

​

For 3 years, I worked in stroke rehabilitation. In 2022, I felt the pull to return to my long-time favorite setting: orthopedics. This is when Stability In Wellness, LLC was born.

​

In general, physical therapists with backgrounds in neurologic rehabilitation are far less common than those with traditional orthopedic backgrounds. This is why both my background in neurologic rehab and love of manual therapy give my treatment approach an edge, allowing me to effectively address the connection between mind and body.

 

I am most passionate about assisting active and motivated individuals. I take a special interest in treating low back pain, conditions of the shoulder and jaw pain. I am currently pursuing specialization in craniofacial physical therapy and am one of the few therapists in the state of Florida to dedicate myself to this niche. I feel very privileged to have worked with clients from all kinds of backgrounds, from professional athletes to recreational athletes, corporate CEOs to small business owners, personal trainers, dentists, nurse practitioners, massage therapists and private clients from young adults to seniors in South Florida. During parts of the year, I also serve as Adjunct Professor at Indian River State College's Physical Therapist Assistant Program.
