Specialty Focus Areas

Dr. Gwen earned her bachelor’s degree in Mind, Body, and Movement from the University of Rochester, where she was a goalkeeper on the women’s soccer team, before completing her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at SUNY Upstate Medical University in 2023. A native of East Aurora, NY, she is passionate about helping people move with confidence and get back to the activities they love.

Gwen is committed to continual growth as both a clinician and coach. She actively pursues advanced education through the Institute of Clinical Excellence (ICE), learns alongside experienced mentors, and is always refining her skills to provide the highest level of evidence-based care. She enjoys working with orthopedic, vestibular (specializing in concussions), and older adult populations and is LSVT BIG® certified, helping individuals with Parkinson’s disease move better, stay active, and maintain their independence.

Beyond the clinic, Gwen is deeply invested in her community through education, outreach, and supporting active lifestyles. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, running, waterskiing, and coaching soccer.
