**huge shoutout to everyone at WellSpan for shaping my career and who I am today as a therapist
I recently moved to the South Hills of Pittsburgh from my hometown of York, PA. I had been missing Pittsburgh since my Duquesne days, and thought it’d be a great place to start Mobile Physio, which it certainly has. I’ve been wanting to get out of the traditional therapy framework for years. Why? Mostly burnout. The relentless pace of back-to-back appointments, coupled with the burden of typing notes during sessions leaves little room for the genuine connection and focused attention that I know to be crucial in delivering high-quality care and achieving the best results.
With Mobile Physio, I’ve reimagined the approach, prioritizing person-centered care and meaningful engagement over productivity. Not only is care delivered in the comfort of your own home, but the computer stays shut so that you can do therapy for the entire session rather than waste time watching the therapist type notes.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy camping, hunting, cooking, and staying active through weightlifting and running. I have a huge passion for living a thriving, healthy lifestyle and I do my best to cherish time spent with friends and family. My younger brother Brad, my parents, and my grandparents are all in York, PA and I visit when I can. I’m big on getting lots of sunlight, good sleep, eating whole foods, having a community…all of that stuff!
Just wanted you to get an idea of who I am before we meet. Hope to talk with you soon!
