ABOUT THE DOCTOR

Growing up on the I-70 corridor, I developed an appreciation for our quaint, quiet towns, without all the hustle and bustle of the city. Going to undergrad in downtown Denver and graduate school in Las Vegas, were huge eye openers for me, and my desire to be back in a small town grew. 

I didn’t think I would be back in Strasburg, but with the parents here and our first baby on the way, it made a lot of practical sense. After being home, I am glad we came back. 

One of the downsides of small town living is not always having access to providers who get you (understanding that you book all your errands in one day, so you only have to go to town one day!), or getting your choice in providers. I’ve heard the stories, been a part of the stories, and seen the outcomes. I knew I wanted something different for our communities. 

Whether your goals are preparing for labor and delivery, healing from postpartum early (can start prior to 6 weeks), overcoming a sport or lifting related injury, restoring function post-operatively, or preventing falls, I am dedicated to providing you the quality care you need, and will always be transparent with you – that is my promise. 

I am excited to work with you and help you accomplish your goals!
