Certifications

The science and treatment of vestibular disorders continues to evolve, and I’m deeply committed to staying at the forefront through ongoing education and research. I’ve earned advanced vestibular certification from both Emory University and the University of Pittsburgh—two institutions leading the way in vestibular science and clinical advancement.

After receiving my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of the Pacific, I’ve used my training and experience to treat a wide range of vestibular conditions—from common forms of vertigo to more complex and rare disorders. My approach goes beyond treatment; I prioritize educating my patients about their condition and available options so they feel informed, confident, and empowered to take an active role in their recovery and daily life.
