About
Physiotherapy can support individuals and families to participate in activities that matter most in everyday life. What feels meaningful is different for everyone, but it’s often shaped by a sense of purpose, belonging, and connection. Together, we’ll take the time to understand what meaningful participation looks like for you or your loved one, and create a personalized plan to help you move toward your goals and vision.

PhD
I hold a PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Toronto. My research focused on how children and teens with cerebral palsy take part in physical activity, and how their confidence in balance can affect their participation.
This work helps guide the way I support children, teens, and adults—focusing not just on movement, but on helping each person feel confident and able to take part in the activities that matter most to them.

As an approved authorizer with Ontario’s Assistive Devices Program (ADP), I can help you or your family member access the equipment needed to support movement and daily life. This may include wheelchairs, custom seating, scooters, walkers, standers, and prosthetic devices.
