I am a physical therapist and I live on Orcas Island. I have provided home health physical therapy for clients here in the San Juan Islands for over 15 years. As a home health physical therapist for over 30 years, I am trained as a healthcare case manager for in home clients as well.

Personal Statement

I enjoy working with senior clients to assist in any way I can to support them and maximize quality of life at home. My home health physical therapy practice has had this focus and has now been extended to caregiving. I have always respected and give precedence to a person's autonomy and wishes in providing care. I make myself available to support, educate, and enhance whatever goals a client has, to meet any needs, while moving at their pace and within their preferences. I offer my care with flexibility, kindness, gentleness and humor, meeting my client on his or her terms. I look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss your care needs and explore possibilities.
