Oak Physical Therapy was founded with the belief that care works best when it’s thoughtful, individualized, and responsive to real life.
Over time, I noticed how often people were told everything “looked fine,” even when their bodies didn’t feel fine — particularly during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, early development, or when navigating hypermobility and sensitive nervous systems.
I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy with advanced training in pelvic floor physical therapy, pregnancy and postpartum care, infant and pediatric development, myofunctional and oral-motor therapy, and nervous-system–informed approaches. This work grew out of listening: to bodies, to families, and to the space between physical structure and lived experience.
I continue learning because bodies are complex — and care works best when it evolves with the person in front of me.
About Oak Physical Therapy
Care shaped by listening, curiosity, and real life.
Outside of clinical work, I’m a parent and homeschooler, which shapes both my schedule and my perspective. I value curiosity, art, science, and time outdoors, and I bring that same respect for learning and exploration into the way I work with families.
If this approach feels right for you, I’d love to hear from you.
