About Me

A jump… a landing… and excruciating pain. I found out about physical therapy after I sustained a knee injury while training for a high school track meet. It took only one visit, and my career choice was made: I was going to be a PT! And the rest, as they say, is history.

I earned my Bachelor of Science and Physical Therapy degree at Wichita State University in 1988 and in 2014 the Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Montana. My professional path has encompassed everything on the patient care continuum from acute inpatient care, Skilled Nursing / Extended Care Facilities, and home health care to private practice outpatient clinics.

When I’m not seeing patients, I like to spend time with my husband, talk with our grown children who have flown the nest, read thoughtful books, gab and walk with my friends, and travel.

Mission
The mission of VTS Physical Therapy is to offer hope for the hurting and help on the road back to a healthy life. In my practice, I value the opportunity to provide:
  • Extended and unhurried one-to-one individual sessions
  • Hands-on gentle manual techniques to decrease pain and aid in movement
  • A therapeutic alliance – which is a strong collaborative relationship between patient and therapist
  • Client/Patient empowerment through education in pain science, self-assessments and customized home programs
  • Quick results
  • A flexible schedule to accommodate not only my patients but also the needs of my family members and others who may need a helping hand
If you are dealing with pain, schedule your appointment. Hope and help are readily available.
