Hi there!

 

I am so happy to be a part of the Clear Passage Therapies team! It is very rewarding being able to really enjoy what I do and know that I can affect a positive change in most everyone we treat.  The icing on the cake is being able to work with a professional team that is dedicated to each other and to the success of every patient who walks through our door.

In 1992, I met Larry and Belinda and fell in love with manual therapy. Working with Larry and Belinda has made a huge difference in my life, and doing this work allows me to make a huge difference in people’s lives around me. When people ask me how I got into physical therapy I usually say, ‘it got into me.’ Truly, it found me when I wasn’t even looking; I feel very blessed about that.  After graduating high school I tried generic classes in college, but had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up (did I want to grow up?).  I ended up doing what came easy to me, and was a secretary for 7 years.  I didn’t like it much, but I was good at it.  Since I had no ambition, it took me 12 years to finish a 2-year degree; and then physical therapy found me.  I fell in love immediately and went to school first to become a massage therapist, and then later to become a physical therapist assistant.  It is a decision I will never regret, because you know the feeling you get when you are doing something right?  Well, that’s the feeling I have working here and treating our patients.  This is what I was made for!

I am somewhat of an introvert.  Oh, I can hang with you extroverts, but I like my ‘quiet time’ to re-energize. My favorite things include: hanging with my daughter, Kelly (5); feeling the breeze while swinging in my backyard listening to the birds and squirrels; reading; and being outside for relaxing or for all-out sports (I am very competitive!). I love the beach and I love to fish and I love to sing, although, admittedly, I cannot carry a tune (something Kelly will figure out when she gets older and wonders why I torture her so, since she is the only one I sing to!)  One of the things I really enjoy about working here is meeting people from all over the world!  I look forward to meeting you!
