HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
-
reflect
Are you currently recovering from a total knee or hip replacement, limb lengthening surgery, rotator cuff repair, or ACL reconstruction?
Do you ever find yourself feeling like your recovery process from surgery is never going to end?
Do you find yourself feeling scared, unmotivated, stuck, and emotionally drained?
In traditional rehabilitation from surgery, there is a heavy emphasis on physical recovery.
Tired of focusing on only the physical aspects of your recovery, and ready for a more wholistic approach?
-
reframe
These feelings are a natural part of the journey. Feeling stuck with rehab goals and post-op timelines can feel draining.
But what if you could embrace a new perspective—one that opens the door to growth, strength, and possibility?
What if we helped you reframe your mindset to wake up feeling empowered to take your recovery into your own hands.
Are you ready to feel energized and start each day knowing that you have been given another opportunity to get stronger- both physically and mentally?

My coaching is focused on deep inner work, building resilience, and shifting your mindset so you can navigate your recovery with strength and purpose. Rather than only offering quick-fix solutions, I help you develop self-awareness and use that awareness to create meaningful, lasting change.

Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented. Often times, therapy explores past experiences and focuses on emotional healing, where my coaching approach allows you to build mental resilience, redefine your sense of self, and find motivation in the face of current challenges. Past experiences do come up in coaching sessions, however the emphasis is usually placed on the present and future you.

Each session is unique and based on where you are in your journey. The first session lays the groundwork for helping me understand your thought patterns, motivating factors, and specific challenges. From there, we work on developing your mindset and strategies that will help you move forward. Trusting the process is key, as lasting transformation happens over time. You will bring what you want to work on each session, and we will work collaboratively to help you develop strategies to overcome any mental barriers that may be in your way.

You’re looking for an effective, more holistic approach that complements traditional rehab. You’re willing to trust the process and engage in deep inner work.

I’m so glad you asked! With over six years of experience working as a physical therapist, and having been a patient myself through multiple surgeries, I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to my work as a coach.
I’ve seen firsthand how powerful mindset can be in recovery. My program was built around what I wish I had during my own healing journey: the guidance, tools, and perspective to stay grounded and resilient when things felt uncertain.
With the right mindset and mental tools, you’ll be able to approach recovery with confidence, clarity, and strength… not just physically, but mentally too.
