About My Practice: In my experience, the most interesting thing that occurs is the life of my patients! You and I will start by addressing what’s changed. You may sleep differently, your eating habits may change, you’ll take on new activities – and I get to meet with you to discuss how we can improve your overall quality of life through better motion and decreased pain. I’ll take care of your spine, but I’ll also look at your upper and lower extremities too – because this is our interface with our world. I’m one of a select few Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioners in San Diego. I blend the art of chiropractic care, with attentiveness to the extremities, and a focus on physical medicine that I use to help patients be at their best.
About Me: I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I was an active, three sport kid and artist, and the oldest from a family of four kids. A football tackling drill sent me to ER and with caution to my first chiropractor when I was 14. Visit after visit, I noticed my body unlocking seemingly for the first time. With my newfound freedom of motion, I became interested in becoming a chiropractor, so I set forth to the University of Pittsburgh studying pre-med as my path to chiropractic school. I graduated from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida in 2008. I ran a successful practice up until 2017, and have since been working and living in Sacramento, CA, and Pittsburgh, PA. I come from the east coast, but knew from a very young age that I was destined to be out west! I love the beach, playing and watching all types of sports, getting into my projects of art and design, and music of all kinds!

Techniques I Use: Diversified adjusting, drop table adjusting, instrument adjusting, extremity adjusting, myofascial release, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, corrective exercises
About My Practice: My approach to chiropractic is to look at the body as a whole. I find it important to not only address the joints within the body, but also the muscles and tissues surrounding those joints. Along with spinal adjustments, I also adjust extremities when necessary. In addition to adjustments and soft tissue work, I want you to be in control of your own health. This is why I believe it is essential to educate and provide corrective exercises to reduce the risk of re-injury.

About My Practice: I’ve always been interested in holistic wellness practices and the importance of self-care. Our choices we make every day directly impact our health and well being. Maintaining health requires a consistent balance. We must “heal faster than we injure” . When this balance is disturbed our health begins to suffer. Some variables are out of our control such as air and water pollution and agrochemical food production. Stress management, sleep habits, daily exercise and nutrition are all areas we can work on to improve our health. This is where my passion lies. The last eight years I have been committed to pursuing wellness practices.
About me: I have been practicing massage therapy for the last 8 yrs. part time . May 2021 I retired from nursing after 35 yrs. The majority of that time I worked in the hospital setting in the area of orthopedics and physical rehabilitation. I recently moved from NJ to San Diego when my daughter started studying at SDSU. When I’m not working I enjoy gardening, cooking, nature walks and Qi Gong.
