Stacie grew up in Palos Verdes, and after multiple volleyball injuries she saw the value that physical therapy brought to herself and her friends and family members’ quality of life. She went on to complete her doctorate in physical therapy at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles and continued her studies completing an orthopedic residency at Optum and subsequently became a board-certified orthopedic specialist (OCS). Stacie was ranked the #1 clinician in patient satisfaction at Optum Orange County and in the top 10 clinicians in the state of California at Optum. Stacie also serves as adjunct faculty at Stanbridge University in the physical therapy assistant program.

Stacie has treated patients with complex orthopedic and pelvic health conditions in private practice, UC Irvine, and Optum. She has worked with high school and collegiate level athletes, weekend warriors, and people with chronic pain and health conditions.

While in PT school, she attended a lecture on treating incontinence in female runners and was fascinated by the impact of physical therapy on women’s health. She has taken advanced training in treatment of pelvic health conditions. She believes that women are often overlooked and under-served in healthcare, and hopes to help to put an end to this by providing a safe and inclusive environment where people of all genders feel heard and appreciated.

Stacie has been on her own healing journey for treatment of chronic pelvic and low back pain and understands how valuable it is to have collaborative, knowledgeable, and holistic healthcare providers on your team. Stacie loves physical therapy because she truly knows that exercise, movement, and manual therapy can help people live their best life! She will help you reach whatever goal you set for yourself. During her spare time she enjoys hiking, running, kitesurfing, cooking, reading, and taking her pup Sadie to the Huntington dog beach.
