“I thoroughly enjoy the problem-solving nature of physical therapy. I love working with each patient to solve their specific problems and set goals that are meaningful, which is a unique process for each individual. As a physical therapist, I feel like we can really meet patients and clients where they are at and come up with a plan to help them achieve their goals.”

Alex grew up as a dancer and a gymnast, and loves working with younger dancers and athletes to help them achieve their dreams.
