I am an osteopathic physician that loves to put my patient’s ENTIRE story together to help them heal. I stumbled upon the work of Howard Schubiner and Alan Gordon several years ago while searching for ways to help patients find long-term healing. I immediately knew I had found the missing piece in my search for tools to help my patients truly heal! While helping patients, I’ve also applied the principles to my own life and have seen resolution or reduction of my own chronic symptoms.

Beyond pain and similar neuroplastic symptoms, I use the same concepts to help patient improve or resolve the “every day” diagnoses like hypertension, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune disease. These dysfunctions also often have components of nervous system dysregulation! Many patients have been able to decrease or stop medications and see improvements in lab results using this approach.

My approach to care involves looking for and treating any structural/body contributions to symptoms, addressing the underlying nervous system function or dysfunction (with PRT and EAET when warranted), and helping patients reach their personal goals for being socially active again.

I’m also very interested in working with performers such as dancers, musicians and actors and have helped many heal and find more expression in their work.

Symptoms I commonly help include:

• Neck pain and back pain, acute and chronic
• Hip pain, SI pain
• Tension headaches and migraines
• TMJ Dysfunction and/or pain
• Functional neurologic disorders
• Lost function and/or pain following injuries
• Performance-related injuries and pain
• Athletic injury and pain
• Hypermobility symptoms
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Fibromyalgia
• “Medical” problems (hypertension, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disorders, etc)
