About Me

Ariana became a part of the Spooner team in 2026 after completing her Doctoral program at the University of Southern California. Throughout her DPT career, she has had the opportunity to work with various populations such as Sports Medicine, Orthopedics, Vestibular, Neurological Rehabilitation, and Pediatrics. Her passion for physical therapy soon developed after a sports-related injury as this peaked her interest in pursuing a career in giving back to her community. She is committed to providing patient-centered care that empowers individuals to regain their independence through prevention and wellness to reach their highest potential and giving back to the athletic community by supporting athletes in their recovery, performance, and overall well-being.

Outside of the Clinic: Ariana is a California native who moved to Arizona in 2026. She enjoys watching all sports, especially Lacrosse. She also is a big fan of trying new food places, attending music festivals/concerts, spending time outdoors, staying active at the gym, and lounging with her 2 cats.
