A Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) can help you breathe easier through chronic lung disease education and care planning. This includes education on your particular lung condition, learning breathing and coughing techniques, and identifying lung triggers and reviewing avoidance strategies. They can review treatments and use of devices including inhalers, mucus clearing devices and oxygen equipment. They can create a written respiratory action plan which is a personalized plan that outlines what to do when your breathing is feeling well, and what to do when your breathing is worsening. Lastly, a RRT can connect you to resources already in your community.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Respiratory Therapist with 19 years of experience, and I’m also a Certified Respiratory and Tobacco Educator. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in all areas of lung health, but my true passions are helping people manage asthma—including severe asthma—and interstitial lung disease. My goal is always to support you in feeling your best, improving your breathing, and reducing fatigue so you can enjoy life more fully. We’ll work together as a team, at your pace, with compassion and care.

Outside of work, I love figure skating and curling up with a good movie. I look forward to getting to know you and being part of your journey to better breathing.
