I understand that the first time you meet me it may be a stressful time for you. People often are in a lot of pain and fear more pain with treatments, which is quite understandable. I will try to alleviate those anxieties to the best of my ability, and provide safe, expedient and quality care.

I have had my own issues with back pain over the last couple of years. I practice in yoga, Pilates, daily physical fitness and a diet focused on weight control. I enjoy a wide range of different activities, but I have had to eliminate certain activities I used to enjoy because of back pain. Pain can be reduced, but not always eliminated, with an appropriate lifestyle.

In my free time, I am on the board of deacons at Peace Lutheran Church.
