Lara is originally from Ohio and earned her Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Emory University. She became interested in physical therapy after experiencing a sports-related injury while playing competitive tennis. Although she initially planned to pursue orthopedics, her close relationship with her grandparents led her to focus her career on geriatric rehabilitation and helping older adults maintain independence and quality of life.

She is a Certified Vestibular and Vertigo Specialist and has extensive experience helping patients improve balance, reduce fall risk, manage dizziness, and regain confidence with daily activities. Lara is known for her calm, compassionate approach and her ability to tailor care to each patient’s unique needs and environment.

Core Values: Lara is driven by compassion, patience, and a genuine desire to help others feel safe and confident in their movement. She believes in meeting patients where they are, listening closely, and providing care that supports both physical function and overall well-being.

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.”
