First and foremost - I love to move!

As a kid, I was always outside—riding my bike everywhere, playing just about every sport I could, and yes, even breakdancing from time to time. I simply love exploring life through movement!

That passion has stayed with me into adulthood. Today you'll find me practicing martial arts, strength training, hiking (when it isn’t 110 degrees!), or finding just about any excuse to stay active.

Like many people, I've also experienced firsthand how frustrating it is when pain gets in the way. I've dealt with neck, shoulder, and back pain that, at times, kept me from doing the activities I loved most. Those experiences gave me a deeper appreciation for what it's like to feel limited—and how meaningful it is to regain confidence in your body.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy - I'm passionate about helping active individuals address pain, overcome injury, and move with more freedom so they can participate fully in activities they love.

My goal is simple: to help you move better, feel better, and live better.
