Alyssa received her Bachelor of Science degree and Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Carroll University. Her degrees were completed through a six-year direct admit program, which she went into due to having a strong feeling physical therapy was her calling. Prior to deciding on schooling, she was active in sports and recreationally, causing her the need for physical therapy herself due to injuries. This developed her interest in the physical therapy profession, as she always enjoyed learning about the body and being able to create a relationship with her physical therapist.

Following grad school, Alyssa started working in the outpatient orthopedic setting for a larger healthcare system. She gained valuable experience through the opportunities provided, but it wasn’t until transitioning to the private practice setting, working one-on-one with patients, that she found her true passion. Alyssa prides herself on the relationships she develops with her patients to create a positive and comfortable environment on the journey to recovery. 

Alyssa enjoys treating a wide variety of patients to keep her on her toes. She is a big believer in manual therapy, which she incorporates in almost every treatment plan. She has expanded her manual treatment skills, including becoming certified in Dry Needling. She has a goal to become manual therapy certified once finding the right program for her. She is trained in treating vestibular disorders and concussions. Her approach to providing care is to team up with her patients to empower them with the tools and knowledge to stay active in everyday life.

Alyssa recently moved to Charlotte from Chicago with her husband and pup, Benny. Outside of the clinic, you can catch her checking out new coffee shops as she tries to find the best latte in town. She enjoys staying active by walking her dog, strength training and cycling.
