Biography

I am an occupational therapist who treats adult patients who have experienced strokes, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, essential tremors, Parkinson's disease, cancer, long-term COVID-19 and various other neurological conditions.

My services include neurorehabilitation (focusing on sensory and motor skills), upper extremity strengthening, environmental adaptations and promoting functional independence. I also assist patients in developing daily routines.

My approach to patient care is centered around the individual. I enjoy getting to know each person, understanding what matters to them and finding ways to help them return to the activities they value most. My job is rewarding because each person is unique, allowing me to use my creativity to develop tailored solutions for their needs.

I have a strong passion for working with individuals who live with neurological conditions, and I am grateful to be at OHSU, where I have excellent access to research and the opportunity to collaborate with a skilled team to help patients improve their functional abilities.

Outside of my work at OHSU, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping, social dancing and playing racquetball.
