I opened River City Performance Therapy in 2021. After working in a variety of outpatient orthopedic clinics, I was inspired to start a clinic that would allow for individualized patient care that was flexible to each of my patients’ symptoms, situations, and lifestyles. I think treatment improves when I can take the time to listen to my patients’ stories and conduct in-depth assessments - both of which allow me to focus on functional interventions that maximize my patients’ potentials. 

About Me

When I’m not treating patients, you can find me training and coaching CrossFit; teaching at South University; exploring local trails; cheering on the Tarheels; and trying to convince my 2 year old nephew to start weight lifting. I’m an optimist, a maximizer, an IPA enthusiast and a chronically curious researcher.
