About

Born and raised in Orange County, California, I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Chapman University in 2020 and became certified as a Myofascial Decompression practitioner in 2022. Throughout my years practicing in an era of advanced medical technology, I notice there is still a gap in injury prevention and physical rehabilitation and not enough emphasis on preventative care. Our community still lacks easy access to experts who can not only treat the symptom, but also focus on the root cause and develop preventative measures and programs to reduce the risk of injury. Thus, my goal as a practitioner is to bring those tools home to you to provide a holistic approach to not only treating your injuries, but also to thoroughly educate you on your body's capacity and teach preventative measures to reduce future injuries.

Passionate about helping rock climbers, weightlifters, athletes and the general weekend warriors perform at their peak in their passions, I also enjoy treating the neck, back, shoulders, and hips in addition to the rest of the body. In a typical session, you can expect a variety of modalities such as progressive exercise programming, cupping, scraping, active release techniques, PNF stretching, medicinal massage, joint mobilizations/manipulations, taping, and coaching advice to get the job done.

In my free time, I like to weightlift, rock climb, explore the outdoors and go to as many national parks as I can, take pictures, play guitar and drums, play volleyball on the beach, and enjoy my time with my dogs. I am a sucker for traveling and photography. 15 destinations and looking to add more, while learning more about the history and culture of each country I go to. I'm also a foodie and love finding new hidden gems, breweries, and speakeasies.
