Biography
I am a board-certified rehabilitation psychologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My role involves treating hospitalized patients at Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital, including those diagnosed with cancer and patients receiving care in the acute and critical care burn units. In addition, I complete neuropsychological and presurgical evaluations in my outpatient clinic.
I chose to work in a medical setting because I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to best serve the needs of my patients. My patients can always rely on me for a compassionate approach and personalized treatments that align with their unique needs and values.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I help educate the next generation of providers as an assistant clinical professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I represent the PM&R on the Ohio State Faculty Council. I am also an Academy of Rehabilitation Psychology (ARP) board member.

Academics and research
I focus my research on neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology, with an emphasis on assessing and treating the cognitive, emotional, and functional effects of neurological injury and disease. I also contribute to multidisciplinary studies investigating spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuroplasticity, virtual‑reality–based rehabilitation, and the use of advanced imaging and neuromodulation to improve recovery outcomes.
