Lymphedema Therapy
Compassionate, Evidence-Informed Care for Chronic Swelling and Lymphatic Conditions
Living with lymphedema or chronic swelling can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to manage it alone.
As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), I provide individualized, evidence-informed care designed to help reduce swelling, improve comfort, support healthy lymphatic function, and empower you with the knowledge and tools to confidently manage your condition.
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that occurs when the lymphatic system is unable to effectively transport lymphatic fluid, resulting in swelling, feelings of heaviness, discomfort, and changes in tissue quality. It may develop following cancer treatment, lymph node removal, radiation therapy, surgery, trauma, or as a result of primary lymphatic disorders.
Every treatment plan is personalized to your diagnosis, stage of care, symptoms, and goals, with an emphasis on education, long-term management, and improving quality of life.

What to Expect
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management rather than a one-time treatment.
The goal of therapy is to help reduce swelling, improve comfort, support healthy tissue function, and provide the education and tools needed for long-term self-management.
Treatment recommendations may vary depending on your diagnosis, medical history, and physician recommendations.
Please note that compression garments or bandaging may be recommended as part of your treatment plan when clinically appropriate.
