Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in the intersection of rehabilitation, sports medicine, and high performance. I partner with a wide range of athletes and organizations to integrate clinical insight, technology, and strategy > elevating outcomes across sport.

My academic foundation began with a degree in Communications from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) while playing Division I Water Polo, followed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Azusa Pacific University.

The Process

Collaborate

Let’s start with an initial conversation to see if we're the right fit. This is an opportunity to clearly define your needs, whether you're an athlete, athlete representative, or organization. We will specifically discuss how I can support your goals and needs.

Optimize

Through a comprehensive initial evaluation, we'll create a step-by-step plan to guide you through rehabilitation, injury management, and/or daily maintenance ensuring clarity and progress at every stage. At this stage, athlete data is reviewed and discussed with the athlete to develop a clear, step-by-step plan.
