About Me
I work in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, diagnosing and treating injuries and illnesses that affect bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves. My goal is to restore quality of life by helping each individual return to their best possible functional ability.
As an avid skier and weight lifter, I understand how an injury can set a person back from their goals. I often treat neck and back pain, but also see people who have issues with their shoulders, knees, hips, arms, and legs. I work to heal my patients using a variety of treatment methods, including interventional pain procedures, often guided by a fluoroscope. This device allows me to see internal structures, when, for instance, I treat the spine with steroid injections or nerve blocks. I also use a fluoroscope to guide injections in the hip and other joints.
One therapy that has shown great success is called thermal radiofrequency ablation. This treatment, which relieves back pain without steroids, can last for a year or more.
I am a holistic physician and believe in treating the whole person to improve body mechanics and functioning. This includes supplements, physical therapy, and pain intervention, as well as stress management.
I am proud to be a female physician in a field where fewer than one in five practitioners are women. Together with our strong team of X-ray technicians, nurses, and medical assistants, I work to provide a nurturing environment to get people to their best possible function.
