Patients Seen: Ages 8+

I was born and raised in Uptown, Chica­go, and have a life­long pas­sion for move­ment and per­for­mance through my back­ground as a col­le­giate — Divi­sion I and pro­fes­sion­al bas­ket­ball play­er. My prac­tice style is cen­tered on patient edu­ca­tion, col­lab­o­ra­tion, and func­tion­al move­ment. I believe in empow­er­ing each patient with the tools and knowl­edge they need to take an active role in their recov­ery, while tai­lor­ing care to their indi­vid­ual goals and lifestyle. My approach empha­sizes not only address­ing symp­toms but also build­ing long-term strength, con­fi­dence, and independence.

Clinical Interests
I have a spe­cial inter­est in help­ing peo­ple recov­er from chron­ic con­di­tions, ortho­pe­dic injuries, and post-sur­gi­cal reha­bil­i­ta­tion. I also enjoy work­ing with patients who have con­di­tions such as bal­ance issues, vestibu­lar dis­or­ders, and sports injuries, and help­ing them regain strength and return to the activ­i­ties they enjoy most. My focus is on restor­ing func­tion­al move­ment and lim­it­ing the risk of re-injury so patients can feel strong and inde­pen­dent in their every­day lives.
Personal Interests
Out­side of work, I enjoy spend­ing time with my fam­i­ly and my Dober­man. I like stay­ing active and fit, as well as tak­ing on DIY home projects that chal­lenge my cre­ativ­i­ty and prob­lem-solv­ing skills.
