Kristin grew up in Wilmette, Illinois, just north of Chicago. She earned her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology with a certificate in Global Health from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After a gap year, Kristin pursued her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Northwestern University in downtown Chicago, where her clinical and research experiences fueled her passion for orthopedics.

Kristin began her career at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, where she worked with diverse neurological and orthopedic diagnoses across pediatric and adult populations. Her appreciation for the resilience of the human body and mind drives her practice, and she is committed to utilizing the latest evidence-based techniques to help her patients achieve their goals. Kristin is passionate about treating patients of all ages, from kids to adults, and strives to build strong, empowering relationships through individualized care.

To further provide comprehensive care to her patients, Kristin is a Level 2 Running Gait Analyst, Fellow of Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound and is certified in dry needling craniofacial, cervicothoracic and upper extremity regions.

Drawn to Boise for its natural beauty and adventure opportunities, Kristin quickly connected with the collaborative and patient-focused team at Foothills Physical Therapy. Outside of work, she embraces Idaho’s great outdoors through hiking, camping, kayaking, skiing, and rock climbing. One of her most meaningful athletic achievements was completing a cross-country cycling trip to support young adults battling cancer. In her free time, Kristin also enjoys live music, competitive family game nights, and playing the piano.
