About Me
As a former gymnast and soccer player, I am personally all too familiar with injuries that sidelined me from my sports. Needing several surgeries and months away from my beloved sports, I was motivated by those experiences to help other young athletes in similar situations. Specializing in youth sports medicine, I can empathize with patients being diagnosed with injuries and how difficult, physically and psychologically, this can be. My goal is to foster a trusting relationship with my patients and their families so we can work as a team to get, and keep, our young athletes playing safely and having fun!
