I have been a healthcare professional since 2002 and I have strived to serve my community throughout that time. After practicing dental hygiene in Florida for 13 years, I decided to return to school and obtain my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) at the University of South Florida. I believed a career in physical therapy would aid me in educating others on how to decrease their pain, help them become more functional and lead those searching for happier, healthier lives to their destination. Additionally, while completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science for DPT school at Florida State University, I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, which has helped me to connect with my patients and has provided me a better understanding of mental health conditions. After graduating from DPT school in 2018, I chose to move to San Diego CA with my loving partner, where I practiced physical therapy; including pelvic floor rehabilitation. Since moving to San Diego, I have completed all courses in the Pelvic Floor series offered by Herman & Wallace, in addition to the Mobilization of Myofascial Layer course, providing me with the education and confidence to treat those underserved with pelvic pain conditions; bladder and bowel dysfunction; and core or pelvic issues. Further, I am trained to treat patients diagnosed with vertigo, concussion, and patients with a history of migraines. My husband and I were recently stationed in Okinawa and now I am ready to treat patients that would benefit from pelvic floor therapy while we are on this beautiful island. When I am not treating patients and friends I love to run, hike to waterfalls, snorkel and search for new hot spots to dance with my remarkably talented husband.
