Hi! I’m Allison, a pediatric physical therapist with experience treating patients from 2 weeks to adults. I have worked in outpatient, school-based, and research settings, supporting children with a wide range of diagnoses including torticollis, plagiocephaly, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, and other genetic conditions.

I develop and implement individualized treatment plans for my patients, and collaborate with families and multidisciplinary teams to ensure each child is getting the care they need. I have also served as an interventionist at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, contributing to a study on improving mobility in children with cerebral palsy.

I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy from Eastern Washington University and specialize in using the SpiderCage and in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI). I am currently introductory level B certified and am excited to take the level C class in late July.

I was born and raised in Washington and enjoy hiking in the Pacific Northwest and spending time outdoors. I love spending time with my family and friends, board games, coffee shops, crafting, reading, and road trips. 

I am thrilled to be joining the team at First Step in July!
