My Story:

“I grew up outside of Atlanta in Peachtree City, Georgia and always knew I wanted a career path in the medical field. I started my Bachelor’s degree at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia. During my time there my health began to take a toll, so I turned to a very common medication to help address some of my symptoms. Within weeks of taking the medication I began to experience new symptoms of what turned out to be a life-threatening side effect. I was hospitalized for over a week before I was stable enough to be released and then continued to struggle from residual effects of the medication for months after. During my time of healing, I began searching for natural alternatives to heal the body and was led to Chiropractic.  

I transferred to Life University in Marietta, Georgia to finish my undergraduate in Biology and then began the Chiropractic program. During my studies at Life U, I was able to heal from anxiety, chronic digestive issues, allergies, hormonal imbalances and headaches that had been treated from an allopathic model but never eliminated the symptoms. My health, path and life were forever changed because of Chiropractic and it is what drives my passion to help others experience what true health and healing is about. 

After graduating, I moved to Destin, Florida and have had the privilege of working in many different areas within my field developing my skill set. I have worked with professional athletes focusing on sports and performance-based care. I have also had the privilege to work alongside many amazing physicians in the orthopedic, podiatric, physical therapy and pain management fields. Truly, where my passion grew was as the clinic director of a wellness-based clinic with passionate holistic healers treating patients throughout their pregnancies and patients as young as a couple days old all the way through their elder years.  I am board certified in physical therapy as well as working towards certifications in acupuncture, so I am able to use many different modalities in order to achieve optimal results and allow the body to heal more efficiently.

My approach to healing is based off my humbling and life changing experience. I know how it feels to look ‘fine’ but barely have the energy to wake up in the morning or make it through the day. I know what it feels like to feel hopeless and have the fear that you will never get well. I know what it feels like to go to your doctor and tell them that you are experiencing symptoms for them to say, your blood work or imaging is ‘normal’.  

I also know what it feels like to overcome illness, to have hope restored, and to take my life back. I know what it takes to get there, and I am passionate about giving others a chance to have their own stories of healing. 

I feel that my primary role as a doctor is to educate my patients on how to not only prevent disease and disorder but also to regain their health so they can live life to their fullest and best!”
