In-Home & Community Physical Therapy
I bring specialized care to your home or anywhere in your community, like the gym or a local park, across the southern Twin Cities. Whether you're supporting your child's development, addressing pelvic floor concerns, or recovering from surgery -- I'm here to help.
Pediatric Physical Therapy
Your child won't even realize they're in therapy. I use play-based activities to build the strength, coordination, and confidence your child needs -- at home or out in the community, like a local park.
Conditions I Work With
These are just a few examples, not a complete list. If you don't see your concern here, reach out and ask.
My Approach to Treatment
Sessions feel like play -- and that's by design. Your child might not even realize they're working on building strength or improving balance. I use games, toys, and activities that keep kids motivated while targeting specific developmental goals.
Every child is different, so every session is tailored to what your child needs and what interests them. Some kids love obstacle courses; others prefer ball games or arts and crafts that build fine and gross motor skills. I follow their lead while gently guiding them toward progress.
I also believe in keeping you involved. I'll explain what we're working on, why it matters, and give you simple activities to practice together between sessions. This approach is designed to support your child's ongoing development in a way that fits naturally into your family's routine.
Why Home & Community-Based Care Works for Kids
Kids do their best work when they feel safe and comfortable. Your home is where your child already plays, explores, and grows -- so it's the ideal setting for therapy. There are no unfamiliar clinic waiting rooms, no anxious transitions, and no stressful new environments to adjust to.
Home-based sessions also let me see how your child moves in their actual living space. I can observe the stairs they climb, the furniture they pull up on, and the spaces where they play. Siblings can be nearby or even join in, making therapy feel like a natural part of the day rather than a medical appointment.
I can also meet your child out in the community, like at daycare or the playground -- working on skills right where they need them and coordinating with teachers and caregivers when helpful.
Not Sure If Your Child Needs Physical Therapy?
If you have a question about how your child is moving or developing but aren't sure physical therapy is needed, a pre-screening is a good place to start. It's a short visit where I'll watch your child play and move, check in on their milestones, and talk through your concerns.
Afterward, I'll let you know whether a full evaluation makes sense or whether your child is right on track -- along with a few simple ideas you can try at home. Either way, you'll leave with clear answers and peace of mind.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
First visits are relaxed and child-led. I'll spend time getting to know your child through play while observing how they move, interact, and respond to different activities. There's no pressure -- I want your child to feel comfortable with me before we dive into anything structured.
I'll also want to hear from you. Your concerns, your observations, and your goals for your child are essential to building an effective plan. We'll talk through your child's developmental history, what you've noticed at home, and what milestones you're hoping to see. From there, I'll create a fun, individualized activity plan that you'll feel good about.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic floor concerns affect far more people than most realize. Whether you're dealing with postpartum changes, pain, or leakage -- you're not alone, and you don't have to just live with it. I provide compassionate, private care in the comfort of your own home.

What Treatment Actually Involves
If you're not sure what pelvic floor therapy looks like, you're not alone -- and it's completely normal to feel uncertain. I want you to know exactly what to expect so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Treatment typically begins with a thorough conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. From there, I may recommend an assessment that can include both external and internal evaluation of your pelvic floor muscles. However, nothing happens without your clear understanding and explicit consent. I'll explain every step before we begin, and you can stop or modify the session at any time.
Sessions also include targeted exercises, breathing techniques, and education about how your pelvic floor connects to the rest of your body. Many patients find that understanding the "why" behind their symptoms is empowering in itself. My approach is designed to help you build awareness and strength at a pace that feels right for you.
Why Home-Based Care Matters for Pelvic Floor
Privacy is everything when it comes to pelvic floor therapy. Sessions happen in the comfort and privacy of your own home -- there's no clinic waiting room, no awkward check-in, and no worry about who you might run into. It's just you and me, in a space where you already feel safe.
Being at home also means your own bathroom is steps away, you can wear whatever makes you comfortable, and there's no stressful drive home afterward. For many of my patients, this privacy is what finally gave them the confidence to seek the care they deserved.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit is a conversation, not an exam. I want to understand your concerns, your symptoms, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll review your medical history and talk about what's been going on -- at whatever level of detail you're comfortable with.
If we decide together that a physical assessment would be helpful, I'll explain exactly what it involves and why before anything happens. You're in control of every step, and absolutely nothing proceeds without your explicit consent. Many people tell me they wish they'd reached out sooner -- that first conversation is often the hardest part, and I'm here to make it as comfortable as possible.
Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy
I work with athletes and active adults recovering from injuries, surgeries, and chronic pain -- bringing expert rehabilitation to your home, your gym, or wherever you train and play.

My Approach to Treatment
Every recovery plan starts with understanding your goals. I'll assess your current mobility, strength, and pain levels, then develop a personalized program designed to help you regain function and return to the activities you love.
I use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, and movement retraining -- all tailored to where you are in your recovery. Whether you're working toward getting back on the field, lifting your grandchild, or simply walking without pain, we'll build a plan together that makes sense for your life.
Progress can look different for everyone, and I'll be honest with you about what to expect at each stage. My goal is to give you the tools and confidence to keep improving, even between our sessions.
Why Home & Community-Based Care Works for Recovery
Recovering where you actually live and play means practicing in the exact spaces where you need it most. Your own stairs and kitchen, your gym, the field or trail -- these are the environments that matter for real-world recovery. I can tailor your program to the specific challenges of your daily life, not a generic clinic setup.
There's also a practical side: no driving after surgery, no sitting in waiting rooms when you're in pain, no rushing to make an appointment across town. Whether you're in Lakeville, Apple Valley, or Savage, I bring everything needed for your session directly to you -- so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first session typically takes about 60 minutes. I'll start by listening -- I want to understand your injury or condition, your medical history, and most importantly, what you want to get back to doing. Then I'll conduct a thorough physical assessment, looking at your range of motion, strength, balance, and how you move.
Before you know it, we'll have a clear picture of where you are and a plan for where you're headed. I'll walk you through your personalized treatment plan, demonstrate initial exercises, and answer every question you have.
