Hello neighbor. I am honored to serve you, whether in person or from afar.
I am from Oakdale, CA, moved away for 10 years, and then the Lord said it was time to come back. To my surprise, this has led to opening up shop here in Oakdale.
The first stop in the 10 years away was San Diego. This is where I received my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. From there it was off to much different weather, Saint Louis, MO. It was there that I truly met Jesus and received my Doctorate of Chiropractic at Logan University. I spent my clinical rotations at Federally Qualified Health Centers, serving the underserved. I LOVED it. Now, I want to serve my neighbors here.
After working through a few years of chronic low back pain myself, I became very intrigued with pain. Why pain exists, what makes it persist, and even how biopsychosocial factors play a factor. I hope to now serve you with this information and other evidence-based care.
Outside clinic life, I love learning new things, wood widdling, rock climbing, traveling, and being immersed in other cultures. Language learning is very fascinating to me, so I know a little Turkish and am learning Spanish. Lastly, I have the craziest pup named Hank.
