HI, I'M DR. DENISE

Chiropractic Neurologist, mother, and passionate advocate for whole-person healing. My mission is to help create the conditions for healing to restore communication between the brain and body.

Looking back, I can see now how every part of my journey was shaping the work I would eventually be called to do.

I struggled with chronic migraines and recurring sinus infections. My mother took me to countless providers in search of answers, but nothing seemed to bring relief.

At 14 years old, she brought me to a chiropractor as a last hope.

 

I vividly remember walking into that office in significant discomfort (nauseated, overwhelmed, and in the midst of a migraine) and leaving with a sense of optimism that I might actually get my life back. With consistent chiropractic care over the following year, my symptoms gradually resolved, and something within me began to shift.

That experience didn’t just change how I felt in my body; it changed the direction of my life.

It sparked a deep desire to understand how the body heals and led me to pursue a career in chiropractic care, with a heart to offer others the same sense of hope and relief I had experienced. In 2011, I opened a family practice, initially focused on helping others find relief from similar physical challenges.

 
Passionate about helping others

Over time, however, my understanding of healing began to deepen in ways I could not have anticipated at the start of my career. While I initially focused on helping patients find relief from physical symptoms, I began to notice that lasting change often required looking beyond the structure of the spine alone. Many individuals were doing everything “right,” yet still struggling with recurring or unresolved symptoms.

This led me to a deeper exploration of how the nervous system influences the body’s ability to adapt, regulate, and heal.

One young athlete's concussion changed the course of my career. Watching a bright, active student struggle with headaches, brain fog, and the loss of the activities she loved led me to pursue advanced training in clinical neuroscience, functional neurology, brain injury, and neurological rehabilitation. What began as a search for answers opened my eyes to the incredible complexity of the brain, the nervous system, and the body's capacity to heal.

My Mission Today

Over the years, I came to see that many people carry more than physical symptoms alone. Stress, life experiences, and an overwhelmed nervous system can all influence how we feel, function, and heal. Today, my mission is to help patients restore balance within their nervous systems through a whole-person approach that supports lasting health, resilience, and well-being—physically, emotionally, and neurologically.
