Our Staff

Erika Valdivia

Physical Therapy Aide

I grew up in Ontario, California with my family and graduated from California State University, Fullerton with my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.

I have past experience in customer service and athletic training, which has helped me provide meaningful care and attention to our patients.

Empathy, generosity, and compassion.

“Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.” – Proverbs 16:3

I am a Physical Therapy Aide, so I specialize in patient care inside the clinic. I help patients with their exercises and recovery goals and provide an environment where patients can feel seen and heard.

I want patients to feel heard and seen when they come into our clinic and to truly feel that we care about their needs and recovery.

I enjoy the nurturing environment that has been created for all employees as well as for the patients at Empower. This is a clinic that provides a learning environment for employees while also offering many opportunities to grow. I truly feel like a part of a family here at Empower.

During my free time, I enjoy creating art. I have been making art for over 10 years and specifically like to create pencil portraits of people as well as oil pastels of nature. I also enjoy going to Disneyland when I can. I am a pass holder, so I go many times throughout the year.
