About Me
I have been working with upper extremity injuries/conditions for the past 15 years. I graduated in 2006 from Illinois State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science and Fitness. In 2009, I graduated from RUSH University in Chicago, IL with a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy. I am a licensed Occupational Therapist in the states of Tennessee and Illinois. I earned my certification in hand therapy in 2018 through the Hand Therapy Certification Commission.
My passion is to get people back to the activities that they love following a hand injury or when dealing with a chronic hand condition. Over my career, I have built the skills and expertise needed for providing quality services for my clients. My goal is to get people back to using their hands pain free including activities from playing a sport to picking up their grandkids.

Testimonials
I sought treatment by Carmen for issues I had with my elbow, generally called tennis elbow. I had persistent pain when I made certain movements related to daily activities. She listened to my complaints and suggested a number of exercises that helped with the restrictions and pain. She was very effective with her treatment and caring method. Overall, I was quite happy with her care provided.

I'm a quadriplegic and I had surgery to gain use of my paralyzed hand. Carmen was one of my hand therapists after surgery. With her knowledge and commitment to helping me get the use of the hand helped me to having a much more productive lifestyle. Carmen helped me stick with it even when it was painful or difficult. She's an excellent hand therapist and I definitely would recommend her.

She is very personable and knowledgeable.She cares about her skills as an Occupational Therapist and has the ability to use different techniques to help you reach your goals.
