Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

My clinical interests include rehabilitation and chronic management after spinal cord injury and acquired brain injury, rehabilitation after complex hospitalizations, and neurorecovery.


Care Philosophy

I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that recognizes the impact of rehabilitation not only on my patients, but also on their loved ones. I aim to partner with patients and families to establish meaningful goals, promote independence and function, and support each individual in returning to the life they value beyond the hospital.
