I’m an acupuncturist with eight years of experience and especially enjoy working with people whose health concerns are complex, persistent, or haven’t been well served by conventional approaches.
I believe our health is shaped not only by our bodies, but also by our relationships, environments, histories,
and access to resources. My goal is to provide care that respects each person’s autonomy, helps them better understand their bodies, and creates practical possibilities for healing.
My own experience as a patient at a community acupuncture clinic inspired me to become an
acupuncturist. Since then, I’ve worked in community clinics, addiction-recovery and multidisciplinary healthcare settings, special-education services, and community outreach.
I have experience treating acute and chronic pain, injuries, reproductive and hormonal health, digestive and autoimmune conditions, sleep and mental health concerns, cancer support, and substance-use recovery. I also have experience with disability, chronic illness, gender-affirming and trans health, and caring for people across the lifespan. I particularly value working with
people whose needs are interconnected or don’t fit neatly into a single diagnosis.
I strive to make treatment feel both efficient and personal. Whether you’re new to acupuncture, nervous about needles, or have a long and complicated
health history, I want you to feel listened to, respected, and at ease.
A teacher once told me “The purpose of the Heart is to look for joy and the measure of our success is how much joy we’re able to make.” I try to keep this message as a guiding star in my practice.
Whether you are seeking relief from symptoms or looking to maintain your health and prevent disease, I want to help you make more joy in a world that needs more of it.
I am a general practitioner but especially like to work with GI issues, pain, pregnancy & postpartum support, and perimenopause symptoms.
“We are not meant to live in pain, or with serious impairment or dysfunction. I firmly believe that whatever trouble we got into, we also get out of again. The body is very wise, it knows how to be well, and it wants to be well. Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine has the amazing ability to harnesses our own natural healing ability.”
Helping folks with chronic, complex, or difficult to treat conditions are my focus, using both acupuncture and Traditional Herbal Medicine.
