Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your practice different?
I don’t just treat symptoms — I uncover and address the root cause of your pain using a comprehensive, one-on-one approach. My method blends highly skilled manual therapy, personalized therapeutic exercise, cutting-edge modalities, expert activity and lifestyle coaching, and holistic health insights. This isn’t a cookie-cutter protocol or a quick fix. It’s individualized care built on 20 years of clinical experience — designed to help you fully resolve your pain, keep it gone, and perform at your highest level or unlock your full potential.
What can I expect during my first session?
Your first session is centered around a thorough, full-body evaluation and an accurate diagnosis—because a successful, efficient treatment plan begins with getting the diagnosis right. I’ll take time to listen deeply to your story: your symptoms, your history, patterns you’ve noticed (or haven’t yet), and your personal goals. Using a holistic evaluation framework backed by 20 years of clinical experience, we’ll begin identifying the true root cause of your pain or performance limitations. The rest of the session will be dedicated to hands-on care—targeted manual therapy and advanced modalities designed to relieve pain, restore balance in your musculoskeletal system, and jumpstart the healing process. After your session, you’ll receive a follow-up email summarizing our findings and your personalized home program, delivered via PhysiApp, so you can continue progressing with clarity and confidence.
Do you take insurance?
As a private practitioner, I prioritize your health by avoiding insurance contracts and their limitations designed for high-volume, general physical therapy settings. This grants us the necessary time for focused, holistic treatment using whichever modality we choose. Unlike traditional clinics, my approach often yields significant improvements in a few sessions, deviating from the typical 15-20 visit prescription. If you opt to use insurance, I can provide a detailed superbill for potential reimbursement, leveraging my billing expertise to maximize your claim. I am able to accept payment from HSA and FSA.
How do I know if physical therapy with you is right for me?
If you’re frustrated by chronic pain, exhausted by trying “everything” with no real progress, or simply seeking to optimize your performance and reclaim your energy—this is for you. Whether you're an athlete, a health-conscious professional, or someone who’s been told “this is just the way it is”—this work is for people ready to uncover and address the real root causes and finally move forward with clarity, confidence, and a personalized roadmap to healing. This is precision-guided, holistic care—rooted in 20 years of clinical expertise—for people who are done with quick fixes and ready for real, lasting results. If you have questions you can always book a free 15 minute consultation with me.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on you—your goals, the nature and duration of your condition, and how your body responds to treatment. My goal is always to create a noticeable shift in your pain or movement in the very first session. From there, I’ll offer three options for how we might continue working together: – a more immersive plan with frequent, hands-on sessions for faster progress and a higher likelihood of long-term success – a self-guided, budget-conscious program to support your progress at home – or a hybrid plan that strikes a balance between guidance and independence—offering a balance of support, hands-on care, and affordability
How can you help with my issue?
If you’ve tried other treatments without lasting success, there’s a good chance you’re in the right place. With 20 years of experience treating everything from persistent back pain and post-surgical recovery to performance limitations in high-level athletes, I take a comprehensive, whole-person approach that looks beyond the symptom to uncover the true root cause. Whether you're navigating pain, imbalance, or underperformance in your professional, personal, or athletic life, our work together will simplify what often feels like a complex process. We’ll get clear on what needs to be removed and what needs to be added to restore balance, optimize function, and support pain-free living. My role is to help you find the answers—and a clear, actionable path forward.
