Hello and Welcome! I am a board-certified Physical Therapist specializing in functional rehabilitation and pain management. My approach focuses on addressing your physical needs through personalized therapy, with the option to integrate mindfulness practices such as yoga, meditation, breath work, and journaling for a more comprehensive rehabilitation experience.

My Mission: To inspire mindful movement and support individuals, whether online or in the Santa Barbara area, who are functionally limited, overwhelmed, injured, or unsure where to start. As a Physical Therapist, I focus on treating and preventing musculoskeletal injuries to help improve function and enhance your quality of life.

Specializations: I specialize in treating chronic pain, including central sensitization, and have completed a six-month post-doctoral program to earn my therapeutic pain specialty. Beyond pain management, I am deeply passionate about educating individuals on the transformative benefits of resistance training—helping to optimize metabolic health, support sustainable weight management, and maintain strength and function. I also love working on fall prevention, using engaging and empowering balance training to enhance confidence and stability. Ultimately, my goal is to help you reclaim your quality of life without dependence on medications or invasive procedures.

Holistic Care: My commitment to holistic pain management is deeply rooted in witnessing the impact of opioid addiction in my own family. This personal experience has deepened my empathy for those suffering from chronic pain, depression, and anxiety, and drives my dedication to providing safe, effective alternatives to prescription drugs. I believe in treating the whole person—mind and body. By moving away from the restrictive insurance model and offering personalized care, I provide a more impactful and individualized approach to healing. Together, we will help you regulate your nervous system, reduce pain sensitivity, and improve your overall function and quality of life.
