Biography

I am a physical therapist that specializes in neurological rehabilitation for individuals living with neurologic conditions that affect mobility, balance, and independence. My practice at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center focuses on treating patients with Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, vestibular disorders and post-concussion symptoms.

I am committed to providing individualized, patient-centered physical therapy that focuses on the goals that matter most to each person I serve. I consider not only physical condition but also lifestyle, personal priorities and overall well-being. Together, we develop a treatment plan designed to improve or maintain function, reduce limitations, and support participation in meaningful daily activities that enhance quality of life.

As a certified neurological clinical specialist, I have experience treating a wide range of neurological conditions. I have a special interest in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and enjoy helping individuals improve balance, mobility and confidence in their daily lives.

In addition to patient care, I serve as an outpatient mentor in the Neurological Physical Therapy Residency Program, assist with laboratory instruction and lectures within the Ohio State Doctor of Physical Therapy neurologic curriculum, and work with Doctor of Physical Therapy students as a clinical instructor. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Neurologic Physical Therapy Residency Program, and I hold neurological clinical specialist certification.
