No, I welcome clients with any faith or non-faith based frame of reference. I work with people from many different cultures, races, faiths and lifestyles. However, I specialize in the Christian faith perspective if you are interested in this type of encouragement.

Coaches who are Nationally Board Certified pass an extensive National Board Certification Exam through the National Board of Medical Examiners.

There is a difference between an "expert" approach (physical therapy evaluation and treatment) and a "coach" approach (Health and Wellness Coaching).

"Expert" Approach

I have been trained and have worked for many years as a physical therapist so you can consider me an "expert" in this field. I have a skill set and knowledge that can be beneficial to you for wellness or to help you with a specific injury/pain. I assess your issue, give you advice, recommend changes that you need to make and provide treatment. This approach can be very effective for wellness, injuries or pain.

"Coach" Approach

The "coach" approach used in Health and Wellness Coaching involves a more collaborative, client-centered approach. The coach and client are partners and work together to maximize behavioral change toward the goals that are important to the client. The coach encourages personal responsibility, reflective thinking, problem solving, self-discovery and encourages self-efficacy (confidence in your ability to achieve your goals). This approach can be very effective in making daily habit changes and sustaining these changes.

Yes, we can customize a package for you based on your preferences that includes physical therapy sessions and health coaching sessions.

You are in charge of what you decide to talk about in our sessions. Please know that whatever you share with me will be confidential. I am a trained medical professional, and it is a safe place to share. There are ethics and HIPAA laws that I abide by to ensure your confidentiality and safety.

Health Coaching: The sessions may be held virtually (through Zoom), a phone conversation or in-person (additional cost- see plans). I prefer online or in-person because it seems to create better conversations and connections. However, there may be sessions when a phone call works better for you. The frequency of the sessions are based on your preferences and the types of plans available.

Physical Therapy: I come to you for in-person sessions at your office, gym, home etc. or it can be done virtually (through Zoom).
