Director of Stellar Physical Therapy

I’ve been practicing Physical Therapy for over 17 years. Before relocating to South Florida from Boston, I worked across a variety of clinical settings—from sports medicine facilities to nationally recognized institutions including Tufts Medical Center and Hebrew SeniorLife Home Care, a Harvard Medical School affiliate.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of evaluating, diagnosing, and treating a diverse patient population. My clinical experience ranges from athletes recovering from sports-related injuries to individuals rehabilitating after joint replacements and spinal surgeries, as well as seniors navigating physical challenges in assisted and independent living communities.

My philosophy as a clinician is rooted in connection and personalization. I strive to understand each patient’s unique goals and needs to craft individualized treatment plans that promote meaningful outcomes—ultimately enhancing their quality of life and independence.

Our mission

At Stellar Physical Therapy and Wellness, we empower adults 50+ to slow the aging process, reverse muscle loss, and maintain strength, mobility, and independence—so you never have to give up the activities you love. Whether it’s enjoying a walk in the park with your partner, playing pickleball with your grandchildren, traveling to meet a new family member, or simply dining out with confidence, we’re here to help you stay active, resilient, and fully engaged in life at every stage.

We focus on promoting longevity by building muscle strength, improving cardiovascular health, and preventing falls—key factors in maintaining independence and quality of life. Muscle loss and declining endurance can make everyday activities harder and increase the risk of injury, however, this can be reversed and prevented with properly-structured therapy protocols.

Through a personalized, progressive approach, we help our clients remain strong, steady, and active by combating muscle loss (sarcopenia), boosting cardiovascular fitness (VO2 max), and enhancing balance to reduce fall risk.

Personalized Care. Elevated Experience. For Adults 55+

Stellar physical therapy and wellness is a rehabilitation practice that provides physical/occupational/speech therapy services primarily for adults 50 years and over. We provide home health visits in the East Fort Lauderdale/Pompano area and serve as the in-house rehab provider for Independence Hall and Williamsburg Landing, both retirement communities in Wilton Manors, FL.

In addition to providing therapy services to residents of the retirement communities where our fitness centers are located, we proudly serve individuals living in the greater Ft. Lauderdale and Pompano Beach areas—even if they’re not part of the community.
