Break the pain cycle for good.

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a certified Therapeutic Pain Specialist. I also lived with chronic pain for years before I learned how to heal my nervous system, so I understand pain from the inside out and the outside in.

I’ve developed a holistic, nervous system-informed approach to healing the root causes of pain that will help you understand why you hurt and give you the tools you need to finally break free from pain.
