She provides clients with a thorough assessment and a variety of conservative services specific to their individual needs, which may include instrument-assisted and manual therapy techniques, dynamic and static cupping, nerve flossing, and therapeutic exercise. Her goal is to relieve pain, restore normal function, and enhance athletic performance to help her patients live happier and healthier lives, and ultimately succeed in their home, work, and sports environments.

She has an advanced education in clinical neuroscience with the Carrick Institute, allowing for a greater understanding of the treatment of patients with concussions, cerebral palsy, ADD/ADHD, strokes, and other neurologic conditions.
