Professional Interest Area/Treating Philosophy: I enjoy treating patients of all ages. I believe in utilizing the biopsychosocial model in rehab in order to treat the individual as a whole. I enjoy finding specific movement dysfunctions that are limiting the patient’s function and treating accordingly. Not only do I focus on reducing pain/symptoms, but also find ways to reduce the chance of re-injury and improving quality of life. Areas of interest include: Hip, knee, ankle/foot, spine, balance impairments, and neurologic disorders.
Other: In my free time I enjoy lifting, running, hiking the North Shore, playing basketball, sand volleyball, and spending time with my friends and family.
