“I love the variety of conditions that physiotherapists are able to assess and treat. Every client brings a new experience and that’s why every day I look forward to going to work! I love the profession of physiotherapy because it’s both challenging and extremely rewarding."

MScPT, BSc
Physiotherapist
Background and Treatment Approach
My main objectives as your physiotherapist are to help you return to your pre-injury level of functioning, to prevent future injuries from occurring, and to ultimately improve your overall quality of life and independence.
I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY Potsdam, where I played NCAA ice hockey. I then received my Master’s in Physiotherapy at McMaster University.
I use a variety of assessment skills to create a unique treatment plan that is tailored specifically to meet your individual needs and goals. My treatments may include hands on manual therapy and mobilizations, exercise prescription, functional dry needling, modalities, and education to help you understand the root causes of “your” pain and dysfunction.
