About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 2023
Academic Affiliations: Assistant Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

I specialize in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R), a field that focuses on helping people recover from illness or injury and regain their independence. I was drawn to medicine because of its power to heal, connect, and make a lasting difference in people’s lives. During my training here in Cleveland, I discovered that PM&R aligned perfectly with my values—it’s holistic, patient-centered, and deeply focused on improving quality of life.

I care for individuals facing complex medical challenges, including stroke, brain injury, and prolonged hospitalizations. My goal is to see the whole person—not just the diagnosis—and to help each patient move forward with strength and confidence. I believe in listening closely, advocating fiercely, and working together to set meaningful goals for recovery.

One of the most important parts of my job is helping patients understand their health. I take time to explain things clearly, so you feel informed and empowered to make decisions about your care. I’ve seen firsthand how knowledge builds resilience and leads to better outcomes.

I joined MetroHealth in 2023 and currently serve as an Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. My medical journey began at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, followed by an internship at MetroHealth Medical Center and residency training at Northwestern University in PM&R. I’m board-certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.

Every day, I’m inspired by the strength and determination of my patients. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you on your path to recovery.
