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.
