Hi! Welcome to the Village Therapy Place!
I'm delighted that you are visiting our website and I look forward to a meaningful relationship with positive outcomes!

I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Columbia University in 2006. I started my career at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. After a rewarding three years working with adults in the orthopedic and neurologic physical therapy rehab units, I followed my true passion and began working with the pediatric population. It has been an absolute joyride since!

Over my ten years providing physical therapy services to children, I've been privileged to have the opportunity to treat kids of all ages and stages, with diagnoses that range from simple orthopedic conditions to children who are medically fragile and have multiple disabilities; in all settings - schools, homes, clinics and camps.

I love increasing my academic and theoretical knowledge, but I enjoy expanding my practical skills even more. Over the years, I amassed advanced education and training in Kinesiotape, CranioSacral Therapy, NDT, BrainGym, myofascial release, to name a few. I have, fortunately, had tremendous success using my advanced manual and handling skills with my clients.

But more important than the skill set proper, I truly believe that a positive and motivating therapist/client relationship is what breeds true success. And with children, this plays out with a healthy collaborative approach between the therapist and the WHOLE child, that is,the child's world and everyone in it.

That is why I am so passionate about The Village Therapy Place and our mission.

I am committed to providing the highest quality care in conjunction with establishing a meaningful and open relationship with each child and the important adults in his/her life. This winning combination guarantees the highest success rate for a child's time in physical therapy.
