Hello there!

I attended Midwestern University to earn my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, where I completed three clinical internships, including one at Phoenix Children's Hospital. During my time there, I had the privilege of being mentored by both a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit physical therapist and an Intensive Rehabilitation Facility physical therapist. It was also where I was first introduced to the incredible world of the NICU and had the opportunity to shadow in the Spina Bifida Clinic.

​

My experience at Phoenix Children’s Hospital deepened my passion for acute care physical therapy and confirmed my desire to work in pediatrics. In January 2022, I began my professional career at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center as an Acute Care Physical Therapist, specializing in the care of patients within the oncology, pediatrics, and NICU units. 

​

In 2025, I founded Nurturing Touch Physical Therapy in response to the growing need for greater access to specialized infant therapy services. I was especially inspired by the NICU families I worked with who wanted compassionate, comprehensive support for their babies after leaving the hospital. It became clear there was a significant gap in care during those vulnerable early days at home, and I felt called to help bridge it. Today, I’m proud to provide expert, family-centered infant physical therapy services throughout the Ventura County area and beyond. It would be an honor to support your family’s journey.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at the beach, camping, trying new restaurants, and making memories with my family. I love experiencing new things and feel incredibly grateful to share life with my husband and our toddler son.
