I feel very fortunate to have found my career calling in such an amazing and powerful medicine. I began my health studies with an undergraduate psychology degree from Brown University. While in college, I became exposed to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and was immediately drawn to its ability to not only treat the body, but the mind and spirit as well. I completed a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin, TX. I was even lucky enough to complete an internship in China at the Chengdu University of TCM.

In my practice I strive to awaken the physician within each patient. To that end I emphasize the importance of daily self-maintenance in a way that takes into account individual limitations and experiences. The focus of each treatment is on correcting imbalances that contribute to the symptoms that the patient is experiencing. The overall goal of continuing treatments is to help each individual recognize how daily experiences can have a negative and/or positive impact on the balance of their health. Awareness of potential imbalances is the first step toward
improving the overall quality of life.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
