I believe that the best clinical care happens when you feel truly understood. With 11 years of experience in outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine, I have learned that a diagnosis is only the beginning of our conversation. Whether you are navigating chronic spine issues, headaches, TMJ pain, or recovering from a concussion, my goal is to bridge the gap between high-level, evidence-based manual therapy and the holistic, compassionate care you deserve.
My path to becoming an American Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT) has always been driven by one thing: a desire to make the complex understandable. I have spent my career fascinated by biomechanics and movement not just to treat an injury, but to help you feel empowered in your own body again.
My foundation in the profession is built on a diverse educational background, starting with Bachelor’s in Physical Therapy from Gujarat University and Master of Science in Kinesiology from Texas A&M, where I specialized in clinical exercise physiology. I am deeply committed to the future of our profession, which is why I serve as a Faculty Instructor and mentor for the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) and as the Education Committee Chair for the Golden Gate district with CPTA.
I believe that professional excellence is a lifelong pursuit. To better serve my patients, I have curated a wide array of specialized training, including pelvic floor therapy with Herman and Wallace, functional movement assessment (SFMA), and extensive sports medicine training including my work in shoulder rehab, running analysis, and ACL recovery with MedStar Sports Medicine and being a part of MedStar Tennis program development for the Citi Open.
When I am not in the clinic or teaching the next generation of clinicians, you can find me on the badminton court, out on the water rowing, or working on a new painting. I find that these activities, much like my clinical practice, are a reminder that movement is both a precise science and a beautiful, creative art. I look forward to meeting you and helping you move with more confidence and less pain.
