Meet your Physical Therapist

Hi, I’m Elizabeth!

I grew up in the quaint beach town of Seal Beach, CA, went to school in San Francisco then Los Angeles, and now call Long Beach my home. 

I found my career in physical therapy after watching my brother’s friend go through extensive PT after losing his legs from an explosion while serving overseas. After attending one of his PT appointments, it was like a lightbulb went off! PT offers everything that resonates with me: science/health information, creative practice, wholesome treatment, and patient connection!

After completing my schooling and post-doctoral training in orthopedics, I achieved my goal of becoming a pelvic health PT. I’m passionate about the relationships I cultivate with my patients and aim to offer the best care so they can live their lives free of pain and dysfunction (in body regions that are still considered “taboo” to talk about)!

When I’m not practicing, you can find me exploring local restaurants, training for half or full marathons, buying plants, dabbling in watercolor painting and pointing out all the hummingbirds and home-grown lemons on walks.
