About PT With Dri


Meet Dri
Welcome to my practice! I am a pediatric Physical Therapist with a specialization in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and hold an Intermediate Level B certification, rating me the highest level DMI specialist in Washington State. With a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University and over 10 years of experience, I have knowledge with a range of therapeutic techniques, including DMI intensive therapy, whole body vibration, Theratogs, and body weight support systems and more. My background includes working in a variety of pediatric settings such as intensive therapy model, traditional outpatient therapy, school-based therapy, early intervention, and conducting virtual therapy sessions. My intention is to connect with, motivate, and inspire your child, as I am dedicated to helping them learn how to move and control their own body. Building trust is my top priority, and together, we will strive to achieve your goals. When I'm not at the clinic, I am probably hanging out with Moose, my 1 year old puppy. I enjoy taking him on outdoor adventures such as hiking, camping, and snowboarding, and I have a passion for traveling. I'm a devoted partner, friend, and a very proud Auntie to two wonderful nieces. I have a love for dogs, and orange is definitely my favorite color!
