Overview
While I am passionate about physical therapy, my motivation is fueled by the connections I form with my patients. I am deeply committed to helping patients of all activity levels bridge the gap between where they are presently and where they would like to be, blending the realms of rehabilitation and performance. After a thorough, holistic evaluation, I strive to establish a solid foundation to build upon. My treatments are tailored to fit the needs of my patients, emphasizing return-to-activity principles, strength and conditioning, and injury prevention. My time in the D1 training room, experience as a former collegiate wrestler, and sports residency experience have given me unique insight for navigating rehabilitation obstacles athletes' face both on and off the field. I believe in a collaborative approach, beginning with a strong patient-therapist working alliance and consistent communication with surgeons, athletic trainers, strength coaches, and other members of the healthcare team. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy coaching wrestling, personal training, and spending time with my family, which fuels my passion for helping others stay active and healthy.
