About Me
I strive to provide exceptional care for every patient who walks through my door. To do so effectively, I take a comprehensive approach, understanding the entire biomechanical chain and how different body regions influence one another. My dedication to continuous learning has led me to complete numerous advanced education courses, ranging from specialized training in cervical spine treatment and headache management to in-depth studies on foot and ankle biomechanics and orthotic prescription.
I further deepened my expertise by becoming a Fellow of Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute, and I hold advanced certifications in vestibular rehabilitation and dry needling. Drawing from my experience as a collegiate athlete and my current passion for running, I integrate my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialization to help patients not only recover but also move and feel better than ever. My goal is to ensure every individual can confidently return to their desired activities with strength, efficiency, and resilience.
Outside the clinic, I spend my free time running, weight training, and supporting the Sun Devils and Arizona Cardinals.
