"My goal is to help people with MS create positive, healthy habits that will enhance their independence and help them stay active. Very often, small lifestyle changes open doors to significant changes in well-being. My areas of focus include helping patients maintain arm function, improve posture and maximize independence with daily activities. I create individualized exercise programs for strengthening, coordination and flexibility, and help patients with adaptive equipment to optimize their functioning. I am also the MS Center’s adventure guide. In this role, I help patients participate in recreational activities despite disabilities. These activities are highly individualized to match each patient’s personal interests, lifestyle and health circumstances."

"I like to evaluate each person’s condition and how his or her neuromuscular disorder has contributed to weakness, decreased range of motion, spasticity, changes in posture or compensatory movement patterns. I then develop an individualized exercise program to optimize each patient’s wellness through increased body awareness and improved movement."
