I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine in 2017. I am passionate about helping patients stay active, safe, and independent. I specialize in working with adults in their homes, focusing on helping individuals recover from injuries or surgery, improve strength, and enhance balance. My goal is to support each patient in safely returning to the activities that matter most to them. I believe that personalized, one-on-one care in the home environment leads to meaningful progress and an improved quality of life.

I have been a physical therapist for more than 17 years and graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Master’s in Physical Therapy. My career has been spent primarily in outpatient orthopedics and chronic pain care, where I focus on a comprehensive, whole-person approach to treatment. I’m passionate about helping patients reduce pain, restore movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them. I enjoy partnering with each patient to understand their goals and create a plan that supports both recovery and long-term health. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active in ministry, and taking advantage of all that San Diego has to offer.

Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego County
Looking for a physical therapist for sciatica near Rancho Santa Fe? HealthSpark connects patients in Rancho Santa Fe with licensed physical therapists who come to their home for outpatient physical therapy, covered by Medicare Part B and major insurers. No homebound requirement.
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. It's usually caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis compressing part of the nerve. The pain can range from a mild ache to sharp, burning, or excruciating discomfort. Most cases resolve with conservative treatment like physical therapy within several weeks.
Sciatica is most commonly caused by a herniated or bulging disc pressing on the sciatic nerve. Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), piriformis syndrome, and degenerative disc disease are other common causes. Prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, and sudden twisting movements can trigger episodes.
Evaluation at home.The first visit is a full evaluation in the patient's home. The physical therapist asks about the history and goals, watches how the patient moves in the rooms they live in, and builds a plan of care.
Treatment where it happens. Visits follow that plan: hands-on treatment where it helps, and exercises taught with the furniture, stairs, and floors the patient uses every day.
The doctor stays in the loop.The plan of care goes to the patient's doctor, with progress notes as therapy continues, and follow-up visits run until the goals in the plan are met.
