Growing up as a young athlete in Oregon, I spent almost as much time in treatment rooms as I did on the field or the ice. PT, ortho visits, pain meds — it felt like part of the routine. I figured I was just injury‑prone or played a little too hard. But when cortisone shots and hip surgeries started stacking up in college, I knew something had to change.

That’s when I discovered chiropractic care. With the guidance of a few incredible mentors, I became a true patient — and ended up having the healthiest, strongest athletic year of my life. That experience completely shifted my path. Five days after graduating from Adrian College, I packed up and moved to St. Louis to start chiropractic school.

I went on to earn my Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Master’s in Nutrition and Human Performance from Logan University, graduating on the Dean’s List. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of patients: from professional to student athletes, weekend warriors, pregnant and nursing moms, and even ten‑day‑old babies with colic.

Now I’m thrilled to bring that experience back home to Oregon. My mission is simple: help people stay active, avoid unnecessary meds and surgeries, and feel confident in their bodies again. I’m genuinely excited to be part of your team and support you on your journey to better health.
