Dawn is a Physical Therapist who earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Nebraska Wesleyan University and a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy. She is a Vodder-Certified Lymphedema Therapist with 30 years of experience as a PT, including 29 years treating lymphedema patients. Dawn has a special interest in lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, and lipedema.

Dawn became interested in physical therapy in high school after her brother was injured playing soccer. She drove him to his PT appointments and saw firsthand how specific exercises and stretches helped him improve and return to his sport. That experience showed her how much impact physical therapy can have and how it can improve someone’s life. Today, she treats patients with many types of swelling, including lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, lipedema, and chronic swelling.

As a clinician, Dawn strives to treat the whole patient. While her focus is on improving swelling, she considers how it can affect other areas of life, including mobility, access to appropriate garments, psychosocial concerns, and function.

A Lincoln native, Dawn enjoys walking, reading, crocheting, and golf in her free time. She also loves spending time with her family.
