Practices In: Mt. Sterling
Patients Seen: All Ages

My fam­i­ly and I, includ­ing my hus­band and 3 chil­dren, moved to Brown Coun­ty in 2007, and I have worked for QMG in Mt. Ster­ling as a Phys­i­cal Ther­a­pist since mov­ing to the area. I have act­ed as the Clin­i­cal Coor­di­na­tor of Phys­i­cal Ther­a­py at the Mt. Ster­ling site for sev­er­al years. I have had the priv­i­lege of serv­ing the com­mu­ni­ty in which I live and where my kids attend school, which has always been impor­tant to me. I love treat­ing patients of all ages and con­di­tions, to where I con­sid­er myself a ​“gen­er­al­ist”, rather than a ​“spe­cial­ist”, which I believe to be vital work­ing in a rur­al clin­ic. With my back­ground in play­ing col­lege bas­ket­ball, I do have a pas­sion for treat­ing sports injuries and see­ing ath­letes return to com­pe­ti­tion safe­ly. What­ev­er your reha­bil­i­ta­tion goals I val­ue every patient and will work along­side you to pro­vide com­pas­sion­ate care but chal­lenge you to be your very best along the way.

Clinical Interests

As a depart­ment we have recent­ly imple­ment­ed PRI prin­ci­ples for treat­ment of acute and chron­ic con­di­tions, which is unique in the area. I have also recent­ly received cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in Blood Flow Restric­tion train­ing and imple­ment that when appropriate.

Personal Interests

I love being active in the out­doors with my fam­i­ly, includ­ing fish­ing, hik­ing, swim­ming and boat­ing. I love attend­ing our local YMCA, or work­ing out at home, includ­ing weightlift­ing, run­ning and play­ing pick­le­ball. I am an active dif­fer­ence mak­er at The Cross­ing in Mt. Ster­ling where my fam­i­ly and I have attend­ed since we moved to Brown Coun­ty. I have also coached girls’ bas­ket­ball for over 10 years, mov­ing from 5th and 6th to 7th and 8th and love spread­ing my bas­ket­ball knowl­edge to the next gen­er­a­tion. You will see me being a spec­ta­tor and fan at all Brown Coun­ty sport­ing events…go Hor­nets! I am an avid Car­di­nals and Fight­ing Illi­ni fan {but I will still treat a Cubs fan).
