DPT, CLT, COMT, CMTPT/DN
Searching for a lipedema or lymphedema specialist, autoimmune-related lymphatic support, pre- or post-surgical lymphatic therapy, or prenatal and postpartum lymphatic drainage? You're in the right place.
One of only 5 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) + Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) in Loudoun County and the only Certified Lymphedema Therapist in Loudoun County whose practice is built specifically around Lipedema. I treat conditions most providers would refer out. No insurance limits. Just me, focused on you.
Doctoral-level clinical reasoning across lymphatic, musculoskeletal, and performance systems, all in a single provider. Only 5 practitioners in all of Loudoun County hold both credentials.
You've likely seen other providers who couldn't give you the answers or results you needed. That changes here. Every session is 100% one-on-one with me, and I adapt your care in real time based on how your body responds, not based on a protocol or insurance schedule.
A lipedema or lymphedema patient receives a musculoskeletal assessment alongside lymphatic management. A post-surgical patient gets lymphatic and manual therapy in the same session. A patient with chronic joint or soft-tissue pain gets a clinical diagnosis across the musculoskeletal, lymphatic, and neuromuscular systems, not just an exercise prescription.
This is what these credentials make possible: integrated care that would otherwise require coordinating two or three specialist providers. It's why results come faster, and why they hold.
Each specialty draws on specific clinical credentials and over 20 years of hands-on experience. This is where expertise translates into measurable patient outcomes.
