What I Do
Physical Therapy
Functional Movement
Every high demand activity — sports, military, personal workouts — comes with its own challenges and deserves a specialized approach.
I’m the Director of Goalkeeping for Gunston Soccer Club and provide highly personalized training and coaching.
My approach is based on ensuring your body is moving optimally for all of your goals whether they be for work, recreation, or just getting around your world.
Every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to you — either in your home, at my Arlington VA office, or virtually — helping you to move better, feel better, and live better for the long term.

Sports Performance
Not sure what you need? I can help you figure it out.
Discover what your body is capable of.
Our bodies can do incredible things. They were built to be performance machines and to last. But each of us are different. Our lifestyles and our habits change things over time, and we need to adapt to and learn from them.
My philosophy centers on empowering you to understand your body well enough in your world so that you don’t need me anymore.
Custom Programs to Prevent & Recover from Injury
Whether you need a new approach to mild soreness, want to get rid of a chronic issue, or need help navigating a new challenge, my role is to help you achieve your goal in a safe way.
Often I hear people calling some pain “normal” or talking about their “bad” joints. In reality, this is our body communicating and I’m here to be the translator for that conversation.
