Nicole specializes in orthopedic and neurological conditions of the upper extremity. Nicole's treatment philosophy is that people are more than their diagnoses and treats with a holistic approach. She combines her life experiences, patients' life experiences, and evidence-based practice into how she shapes her individualized treatment plans. She believes that occupations are based on what's most meaningful to her patients and works to incorporate them into patient care. Nicole believes in building a lasting relationship and has a firm belief that occupational therapy can help people with various diagnoses & comorbidities thrive in their own environments & remain independent in doing the things they need and love to do.
Nicole serves on the executive board of the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association as the events coordinator for local committee district II. She loves spending her time with her family and friends and loves to travel the world. Nicole builds strong relationships with those closest to her and is always willing to try a new restaurant or have friends and family over for a home-cooked meal.
Nicole primarily treats out of ESSMC's Penn Hills office.
