My passion as a PT started in high school as a 3 sport athlete in Michigan. I went to Purdue in pursuit of my Athletic Training degree to prepare for Physical Therapy School. After finishing PT school at Washington University in St. Louis, I started my career in Colorado in 1998. In 2000, I moved into at a Sports Medicine clinic in Boulder, where I spent the next 20 years of my career working in the area of care which I loved the most.
Over the course of my career, I had the opportunity to work with amazing physicians, physical therapists and other ancillary care specialists in a cooperative-like setting to minimize patient care and their outcomes. There was virtually no joint I couldn't assist from the neck to the feet over the span of my 20 years. Toward the later half of my career at the Sports Medicine Clinic, I had the opportunity to focus my attention on hip preservation care, non-operative and post-operative alike, when a prominent hip preservation specialist relocated to Boulder. Because of this opportunity, I observed hip preservation surgeries and discuss PT interventions related to his procedures, making modifications, improvements and revitalizing his protocols to maximize patient recovery. I was able to work with hundreds of hip patients over the span of my career as well as help guide patients toward a more successful diagnosis through thorough assessments and referrals to help move forward in their own care. Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, my physical location of employment changed. Through the years, I identified the challenges patients had immediately after surgery trying to attend physical therapy visits in person. I started my own business to see clients within the comfort of their own homes, while providing a less stressful option as the pandemic continued. Although we are no longer in the pandemic, in home services are a means for anyone wanting an alternative method of physical therapy. The benefit of not working within 4 walls allows us to address things beyond traditional physical therapy. And, by not working within the confines of insurance companies, I can address whatever issue it is when we meet for our appointment.
I incorporated another alternative to traditional Physical Therapy, Telehealth. So long as you reside in the State of Colorado, I can see you online. While hands on is not performed in an assessment, there are many biomechanical issues I can identify via live interactions with patients to help initiate, modify or address formwork with home programs. I can consult and assess concerns related to injury status and care. I can work in conjunction with traditional physical therapy if schedules do not allow for consistent in-clinic care to allow care to continue to move forward. Whether it is in-home, or online, you will be getting my services of working with over 25 years of experience, scheduling with me, and having direct communication with me. No assistants or front desk to work through. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you soon! Let me get you On Your Way! On Your Way PT provides skilled, personalized physical therapy services at a fee for service at the time of your visit. On Your Way PT has no insurance contracts.

I enjoy the outdoors and being in the mountains. Physical activity is my passion. Due to injury, I know what it is like to not be able to do the things I love. This is why I want to work with people to provide an efficient, guided method to assist return to whatever activities are enjoyed. I come from a strong background of playing sports including basketball, volleyball, tennis and softball. Sports I continue to enjoy include: cycling, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, golf, river activities and pickleball!
