“This isn’t exactly what I was expecting when coming to physical therapy.” A comment I hear frequently from past and current patients. I assure you, all meant in a positive way. Admittedly my passion and focus of Therapeutic Somatic Processing (TSP),™ a blend of somatic (mind-body connection) and pelvic floor therapies, often feels like quite the diversion from the traditional medical model. This process of TSP™ centers upon a few foundational components, that you are actually the most knowledgeable about your own body, you are integral to the healing process, and that your pain or discomfort is often based upon the internal, unseen connection between emotions and physiology.

My role as your provider then becomes one of facilitator, educator, and supporter, as opposed to a practitioner that you are reliant upon. Together we collaborate to create a plan of care that will give you the tools to manage and mitigate your symptoms and pain. This will look drastically different for every single person that walks through my door, and is by no means a quick fix, but it ultimately will replace the sense of hopelessness with control.

My journey into this methodology has been winding and adventurous. I didn’t begin here, and I certainly didn’t know where I would end up, but I am incredibly passionate and unwavering in my belief that is the future of healthcare. This work combines learnings from a vast array of educational sources such as human sexuality and somatic sex education with emphasis on trauma and gender, neurobiology/neuroscience of chronic pain, Somatic Experiencing Therapies and Internal Family Systems, pelvic floor physical therapy, and other mind-body approaches.

At my core I am a total nerd, who will geek out endlessly over my field, especially subjects of anatomy and neuroscience. However I also have a carefree spirit with a first career, and continued love, for dance and theater. There is less time to explore those hobbies these days as I am also a mom to two kids who keep life incredibly fun, but sleep deprived.

Please note that if you are looking to schedule with me I no longer perform traditional and regular manual therapy of the global body and/or pelvic floor. I will include some manual therapy with TSP methodology, when it feels appropriate in both your body and my own, however if you are seeking this type of regular care, I highly suggest reading through the bios of my other wonderfully skilled providers to see who feels like the best match to your needs.

Relaying what I do for a living is often met with shock or disbelief, which is quickly followed by the question of why?

My answer is that I do this work because I find it incredibly meaningful to assist others in finding ways to live with their bodies in a compatible or loving way. Too often we feel our bodies have betrayed us with the pain that they feel, or that our bodies are failures because of their inability to function in the ways we want.

Because after the birth of my daughter, I felt like healthcare providers didn’t care about my body or the concerns I was experiencing. I want to provide a better space for postpartum folks to reclaim their new bodies. 

Because I want to support my queer family in a radically inclusive way, encouraging conversations that are integral to caring for the whole body.

Because too many times people have seen multiple medical providers that wrote them off or invalidated their bodily experience. 

Because, as bizarre as it might seem, I love talking about and normalizing bowel, bladder and sexual function. 

Because I’m finally in a clinic environment where I feel professionally supported to step outside of the traditional medical model when working with individuals on their journeys to recovery.

My areas of expertise include treating people of all genders with concerns of bowel, bladder and sexual function. I am passionate about peri- and postpartum rehabilitation, including diastasis recti. I am STOTT Pilates Trained. I utilize exercises and techniques of Pilates during treatment sessions. I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and Gender Studies from University of Oregon and received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. 

How many times have you left a doctor’s appointment feeling completely defeated? How many times have you felt anxiety prior to seeing a new provider because you know you have to tell your story all over again? For me, both have been countless. I can’t promise to rid any anxiety before coming to see me, but I do promise to listen and work with you to come up with a plan to allow you to feel more in control of your body and its functions. 

Healing and recovery are personal journeys, and as your provider, I'll tailor a plan of care based on your lifestyle and unique needs. I also recognize the innate power dynamic that is present during medical appointments and therefore will emphasize consent every step of the way by communicating clearly and asking permission for touch via words or signals. While I may suggest exercises or other interventions during treatment, I don’t expect them to be treated as “homework.” Healing is a partnership, so we'll work together to find what works best for you both in and out of the office. My treatment philosophy is that everything is connected and even small symptoms can be a clue, so I encourage you to share everything with me and I offer that if I don’t have the answer, I will do my best to invest in finding the answer. 

Whether you’re struggling with pelvic pain, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or another issue, I’m dedicated to empowering you throughout every step of your healing journey. In treatment, I often use manual therapy, cupping, exercises, pain neuroscience education, and occasionally will utilize dry needling, a technique that targets muscle trigger points with thin needles to reduce pain and tension. Together, we'll work toward your goals to bring you to your highest level of function.

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, I received my Bachelors of Science in Health Sciences at James Madison University in Virginia and graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at High Point University in North Carolina. When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me exploring the PNW with my partner and our puppy, Rue, or baking a fresh loaf of sourdough bread. With a passion for empowering patients to take an independent role in their care and healing, I am excited to bring my knowledge and dedication to TPHC while learning from my patients and fellow practitioners. Let’s unravel the mystery together and unlock your path to healing!

When human beings think about their healthcare it is often met with anxiety, when that should not be the case! In finding The Pelvic Health Clinic I was immediately drawn to their mission and compassion when it came to all thing’s health. I believe strongly in being a champion and advocate for your own journey and joining this clinic is a breath of fresh air. You can find me in my office to help in any way I can, from appointment scheduling to suggestions on where to grab a bite. When I am not at the clinic, I am running my gallery, Whippersnapper located in Georgetown, Seattle or camping all around the PNW. Please don't hesitate to stop by and say hello, anytime.

I am a firm believer that our bodies are our original homes. They story our relationship to pain and pleasure, isolation and connection, grief and joy. I am here to help facilitate and hold non-judgmental space for interrelation, presence and ultimately your own autonomous healing and empowerment.

I am a curious and empathetic bodyworker, but also a friend in the unknowing. During our sessions, unexpected feelings and needs might arise that guide our work together, and I am here to listen. Since each of our bodies and the stories within them are wholly unique, no session will ever be exactly the same. You can expect each treatment to be tailored to your individual needs, desires, and concerns. Whether you are looking for therapeutic pain relief from chronic illness, therapeutic relaxation, assisted stretching, or if you are working through an injury, I incorporate a variety of techniques best suited for your wellness. Some of the modalities I utilize include deep tissue, myofascial release, Swedish, cupping, as well as neuromuscular and craniosacral therapies. This type of mixed modality work feels slow and intuitive and inherently helpful in regulating the nervous system.

You know your body best. Your autonomy and agency are paramount in our sessions. I will always follow your lead and offer the best support I can, within my scope of practice. Consent and communication are crucial in our time together. Prior to every session, I do a thorough intake to build a holistic understanding of you as a person, the feelings you might be bringing in with you, and how you hope to feel after. I have a big laugh and deeply cherish connection in our time with each other. It is an honor to do this work, and I look forward to collaborating with you.

I am a Naturopathic Physician that specializes in all things related to a healthy and vibrant sexuality, as well as a Certified Community Health Education Specialist with an emphasis on LGBTQ+ issues.

I have been a sex geek for as long as I can remember. I think touch and pleasure are critically important and often overlooked areas of our health and vitality. I have always been that friend where people felt comfortable sharing about their sex lives, so it was a natural extension for me to offer this professionally. Many providers get little to no training in sex medicine, so people live their lives without solutions to why sex isn’t working well for them. Some of the conditions I treat include: menopause and andropausal symptoms, chronic pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis/chronic prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease and dermatological condition of the vulva. I primarily work with members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as kinky, polyamorous, queer and other sexual minority populations.

My philosophy of medicine puts me in a unique crossroads between conventional medicine and all that holistic hippy stuff! Too often, I have seen medical doctors deliver sloppy medicine in their 7-minute appointment times, a time frame that pretty much only allows drug prescribing and is at high-risk for errors. Likewise, I have been nauseated by seeing patients leave their naturopath’s office with thousands of dollars worth of supplements with questionable efficacy. And on both sides, I have seen patients blamed and shamed and had their diagnoses taken out of context of society at large. Inequalities, discrimination and the determinants of health cannot be ignored when developing each individual’s treatment plan. I use the best of conventional medical science, integrate natural modalities whenever justified and practice informed consent if my recommendations venture into experimental territory. My treatment plans are incremental, reasonable, tailored to you, compassionate and often times, fun!

In addition to being a physician and a health educator, I am an eight-time participant of Burning Man, an ecstatic dancer and a devoted spouse. I identify as a queer, kinky woman who is the proud parent of two young children, both of whom are being raised in a gender-neutral fashion (until they tell us otherwise, of course!). When I am not with patients, I am often found playing in the woods. 

My pronouns are either she/her or they/them.
