Details

Empower NeuroRehab is a comprehensive neurologic rehabilitation clinic that is clinician owned and operated. I opened this clinic in 2022 with my incredible colleague, Dr. Katie Bell, OTD, OTR/L, CBIST. We provide specialty services for a wide variety of neurologic conditions. Our services include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Neuropsychology, Counseling, Vision Therapy, and Cognitive Therapy. We have extensive experience in treating both simple and complex vestibular cases. Our clients with vestibular deficits will begin with a thorough evaluation lasting approximately 90 mins. Based on these evaluations, a comprehensive treatment plan will be developed to best address our client's rehabilitation needs.

Clinical Experience: My training in vestibular rehabilitation began with a clinical internship in the C5 Vestibular Rehabilitation Unit at the Balboa Naval Medical Center.  After receiving my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from the University of Saint Augustine in San Marcos, California I worked in variety of clinical settings including outpatient orthopedics, vestibular rehabilitation, and acute rehabilitation. However, my primary clinical focus has been working with individuals with brain injuries. I am also a contributing faculty member at the University of Saint Augustine and Hawaii Pacific University, currently providing instruction in Neuromuscular and Neuroscience courses. In 2019 I was awarded the professional designation of board-certified clinical specialist in neurologic physical therapy (NCS) by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS).
