She sat for her board certification in Neurological Physical Therapy after feeling recommitted to caring for those who face the same serious injuries she evaded.
She passed her certification test, now able to confidently provide the best possible treatment to those with all neurological injuries. Ellen also teaches with the Institute of Clinical Excellence within their Older Adult division, traveling the country to teach other clinicians the best way to care for older adults and future older people.
Ellen loves caring for those that have been stripped of their hope and need an assuring partner for she short and long journeys in their health. Ellen joyfully operates as the clinic director of the Littleton location, gladly leading a team of clinicians who share her outlook on empowering others and instilling hope.
The Littleton team has been described as “a nest of angels” and “Disneyland” by patients and staff members alike. When Ellen isn’t at work she is typically with her husband, Jon and their dog, Bodi. Together they love going to church, mountain biking, hiking in the moonlight, skiing, visiting Ellen’s family in Ohio, going to the beach, paddle boarding, laying by the pool, cooking, and sitting by the fireplace.
