I grew up in Rapid City, where an early appreciation for the Black Hills and an active lifestyle shaped my interest in health and movement. I competed in track at South Dakota State University, where persistent athletic injuries led me to seek chiropractic care after traditional approaches failed to provide relief. That experience reshaped my understanding of health care and inspired my decision to pursue chiropractic as a profession.
As an athletic training major, I understood the importance of muscle function, but chiropractic care deepened my understanding of how joint and nerve function influence overall health. Experiencing improved performance and recovery firsthand reshaped my perspective on healthcare and inspired me to pursue a career in chiropractic, ultimately leading me to Northwestern Health Sciences University.
My professional mission is to help patients live active, pain-free lives by optimizing nervous system function and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. I believe effective care begins with recognizing each patient as an individual and developing personalized treatment plans aligned with their specific goals. I have experience caring for patients across the lifespan, from newborns to older adults.
My approach to care is holistic and integrative, emphasizing the interconnected nature of the body’s systems. Treatment plans may include diversified chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies, stretching, myofascial release, active release techniques, acupuncture, and structured home care strategies tailored to each patient’s needs. With over a decade of experience serving the community, I have built strong collaborative relationships with providers across multiple disciplines, allowing me to ensure patients receive the most appropriate and comprehensive care available.
As an athlete and a mother of three, I have pursued advanced training in sports injury management, prenatal and postnatal care, pediatric chiropractic care, and acupuncture. My goal is to provide comprehensive, family-centered wellness care.
My work is guided by a strong foundation of faith and service, values instilled in me by my parents. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve others and to use my skills to support health and healing in my community.
