About Me
I’m a rehabilitation physician at MetroHealth and a proud Clevelander, born and raised. It means a lot to me to care for the community that shaped who I am. After earning my undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from Niagara University, I completed medical school at the University of Toledo and residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
I chose PM&R because I’m passionate about helping people with neurological conditions regain function, improve their quality of life, and reach their personal goals. I specialize in treating individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, spasticity, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and other neurologic conditions.
My approach to care is collaborative and goal-oriented. I take time to understand what matters most to each patient, and together we build a plan to overcome challenges and move toward a fuller, more independent life. I’m committed to helping every patient live life to the fullest—no matter the obstacles they face.
I joined MetroHealth in 2020 and serve as an Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I’m board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
