A Pacific Northwest native, Sam earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR, before completing her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at West Coast University in Los Angeles, CA. She graduated at the top of her class, receiving awards for Outstanding Leadership and Academic Excellence.

Sam has completed advanced pelvic floor physical therapy training through Herman & Wallace, the Institute for Clinical Excellence, and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). She earned her Pessary Management Certification through the APTA in 2024.

Sam is passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care that addresses the whole person. She takes time to listen to each patient’s story and creates individualized treatment plans that prioritize their goals, comfort, and confidence. Sam combines manual therapy techniques with tailored exercise programs to restore function, reduce pain, and support long-term wellness for every patient she works with.

Outside the clinic, Sam enjoys getting outdoors (though she admits Austin’s “hiking” is a bit different from the PNW’s), exploring new restaurants, and cheering on the Seahawks or Dodgers while working on her latest craft project.
