I founded Fortitude Spine Care because patients deserve a spine specialist who listens, explains clearly, and treats them like a whole person—not a case number.
With over 10 years of experience in conservative spine care, I’ve worked with patients from all walks of life—from athletes and new moms to desk-bound professionals and post-surgical cases. What they all had in common was a desire to understand what was wrong, know how to fix it, and feel confident in their recovery plan.

I became a chiropractor because I know firsthand how an injury can change your life.
A concussion I suffered playing high school baseball introduced me to sports medicine and rehab, and what was one of my hardest experiences became the reason I chose this work. My goal is to help you recover, move with confidence, and get back to the things you enjoy.
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a weekend golfer, a busy parent, or just someone trying to live without pain, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take time to find what’s actually causing your symptoms, explain it clearly, and build a plan around your goals, not unnecessary treatment.
I earned my B.S. in Kinesiology from Purdue University (2022) and my Doctor of Chiropractic from National University of Health Sciences (2026), with additional training in DNS, ART, MDT, and TPI. I’ve also had the honor of serving on the medical teams for the Boston and Chicago Marathons.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find me on the golf course, with my family, staying active, or volunteering in the community. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who will listen, educate, and work alongside you, I’d love to be part of your healthcare team.
