our team

Vicki Stevens worked for over 34 years at University of Washington Medical Center, one of the top Rehab Centers in the nation. She is a Board Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist. She has numerous professional publications including the Physical Therapy Journal, The Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, and the O'Sullivan and Schmittz Textbook.  She has been the Director of Puget Sound Neuro Recovery since 2017, and only employs expert neurologic therapists that are the best in their field.

" I absolutely love working with my patients.. I've been fortunate to be involved in many research, educational, and leadership roles, but more than anything I love working with my patients. Helping someone regain the function of their arm or leg, or learn to walk again, or be able to transition into their own home is the most joyful and fulfilling job I could ever find.  I believe in my patients and help them to believe in themselves.  I push them very hard, and help them reach their goals and maximize their potential."

Kate Rough has worked for over 10 years at University of Washington Medical Center, one of the top Rehab Centers in the nation. After her graduation from PT school, she participated in a neurologic physical therapy residency program for enhanced training in her field.  She is a Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy (NCS). She has numerous professional publications in peer reviewed journals and has been a contributor to a few physical therapy textbooks. Aside from her clinical work, she also works part-time as a teaching associate for the University of Washington Doctor of Physical Therapy program with a focus on neurologic coursework. 

"Neurologic rehab is my passion, from either working one on one with a patient or inspiring soon to be physical therapists to pursue neurologic physical therapy.  When I transitioned to teaching, I declined full time work so I could maintain a clinical practice.  I truly enjoy each individual interaction and the opportunity to assist someone in their recovery.  I believe in every patient's potential and work hard to help them achieve their goals."

Cristin is a board certified Neurologic Physical Therapist with over 16 years of experience. She has worked across the continuum of care from critical care to inpatient rehab to outpatient neurologic rehab. This has given her a deeper understanding of a patient’s full progression in their recovery and the physical and emotional challenges that come along with each stage. It has also fueled a passion for working with individuals with neurological conditions. She graduated from Saint Louis University with a doctorate in physical therapy in 2007. She also completed the Herdman Vestibular Competency course in 2017.

"Being a neurologic physical therapist is so deeply woven into who I am emotionally, physically and spiritually. To work with someone on optimizing how they move through their life in order to live it to the fullest is a tremendous privilege. I'm thankful for a profession that gives me the opportunity to make meaningful connections with people which I feel is integral to our overall health. My approach is to look at someone's life and goals from a full integrative perspective to help guide them on their path in living into their full authentic self." 

Teresa Fair-Field is a neuro clinical specialist.  She entered the profession with a passion for brain injury rehabilitation after growing up around an uncle with a service-connected traumatic brain injury (TBI).  She became interested in occupational therapy after discovering a profession that uses everyday activities (occupations) to engage and motivate a person to participate in their own recovery. In her 30-year career, she has served clients across the lifespan, including 15 years at Virginia Mason Neuro-rehabilitation in the out-patient clinic.

"In many ways, the restrictive environments in traditional health care settings don't do enough to reconnect people to the value of their everyday routines and favorite activities.  That's exactly the sweet spot where growth and recovery meets purpose and our sense-of-self. The customized home-delivery model found at Puget Sound Neuro Recovery is exactly what my profession was based upon, and I'm thrilled to be providing care the way it was intended."

Krista Gregg has worked as a speech language pathologist for over 16 years, working with patients of all ages and diagnoses. Most recently her work has focused on neuro rehabilitation, especially with the transition from in-patient to home care. Her years of experience allow her to optimally tailor her therapy approach based on a patient’s goals and personal motivation.

“I believe communication is vital; it is part of every aspect of life. It helps us build relationships, express our needs, and connect to others.  It’s my passion to assist patients and their families with improved communication and quality of life. I enjoy getting to know my patients and learning about their unique interests and experiences.  Working as a team, we create a plan to help each patient achieve their individual communication goals in their community."
