I was born and raised near Cape Town, South Africa. I graduated from Stellenbosch University in 2002 and have 16 years of experience as a physical therapist in a wide variety of clinical areas, with specific experience in managing spinal cord injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, stroke and other neurological rehabilitation, and trigger point release. The last five years I've provided inpatient physical therapy at National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) in Washington, DC. Now I'm looking to spend more time with my family by working for myself. I am currently licensed in Washington, DC and Maryland.

It's just me, a small dad-owned business. We'll work together to set functional, achievable goals, and if you need me between sessions, you can reach me via email or phone.
I have 16 years of experience in a wide variety of practice areas. Even though my scope of practice is quite broad, I have more experience in certain areas. I will not sign on as your therapist unless I believe that I have the tools that you need to successfully meet your goals.
I'll come to you so you'll save time and effort on travel. Appointments will conveniently be available weekday evenings and some Saturdays. Many clinics are unable to schedule appointments for several weeks. I'll aim to schedule your evaluation a few days after we connect.
I provide longer, 45-60 minute sessions, exclusively with me, ensuring that you will need less sessions to meet your goals. There are no copays, just my fee, and I can provide a superbill to claim against your deductible or from out-of-network benefits.
Just like you go for annual physical exams and take your car in for regular maintenance, your body can also benefit from careful consideration about how it is functioning. I offer wellness packages that allow us to work together to prevent future injuries and slow down regression of your condition. This isn't traditionally covered by insurance plans so not offered by other clinics.
