Natalie graduated from the University of Virginia in 2018 with a Bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science, concentration in Neuroscience, and Spanish.  She continued her education at Virginia  Commonwealth University, where she obtained her Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree in 2023.

Natalie found her passion for orthopedics and hand therapy in graduate school and has been working in the field ever since graduation. Natalie specializes in the rehabilitation of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. She uses a combination of manual therapy, functional exercises and activities, and neuromuscular re-education to help patients achieve their goals. Natalie believes that every patient’s situation is unique, even if their diagnosis is not, and she tailors her approach to address each individual’s specific needs for the best possible recovery. She is currently pursuing her Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) credential.

In her free time, Natalie enjoys working out, walking her dog, and trying the next best Mexican restaurant.
