Elevated Physical Therapy was created to bring a more integrated and holistic approach to treat women’s health issues. I believe in getting to the root cause of your problem. I want you to know that your symptoms may be common but are not necessarily normal. I want you to know that you don’t have to “just live with it”.

I help humans navigate an individualized path towards health, and wellbeing, honoring their values, highlighting strengths, and providing resources targeted to their unique focus, interests, and challenges. I have expertise in helping those with chronic pain get back to doing the things they enjoy with more ease and less fear. Using out of the box thinking, deep compassion, and an experimental outlook, I collaborate with individuals to uncover motivation and actionable steps to get unstuck.
Having personally navigated the challenges of a demanding corporate environment, I understand the obstacles individuals face in their pursuit of health, wellness, and personal and professional development. In our fast-paced world, our minds often become barriers to becoming the best versions of ourselves. My mission is to collaborate with individuals, facilitating behavior adjustments that promote health, longevity, improved relationships, and increased happiness and success.
