Good health is not just the absence of symptoms. It includes smooth and strong functioning in all aspects of life. I especially enjoy working with clients who understand that lifestyle can have a major impact on health. Together, we indentify where there is balance, and where it is lacking, and work together to develop new habits that support ongoing health and wellbeing. Though I do treat people in acute pain or illness, I'm especially well suited to treating individuals with chronic illness and those looking to increase the overall harmony of their lives.

Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include: manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments.

I am a career healthcare provider with a 23-year Western medical ICU background prior to entering the field of acupuncture/TCM. My experience as an RCP-NPS at some of the top teaching/research hospitals in the US - and abroad - uniquely informs my integrative approach to treatment. For the past 14 years, the practice of TCM has allowed me to bring the most modern scientific understanding to the truly comprehensive holistic approach on which this ancient healing system is premised. I received my MAOM in 2012; completed doctoral studies at Five Branches University San Jose in 2023. I practice in both the Wash DC and Tucson areas.
