I enjoy caring for the well-being of my patients. I have been cited twice in Washingtonian Magazine as "amongst one of the most highly regarded practitioners in his field." I have provided practical, holistic, integrative services in acupuncture, body therapy, life/wellness coaching, Chinese herbal medicine, and counseling since the 1980s. My background also includes stress management, medical Qigong, meditation, nutrition, and exercise. I bring breadth and depth to my practice, offering comprehensive and integrative approaches to whole being wellness, treating a broad range of conditions. I also teach skills that enhance the healing process and inner resources for successful life management.
I see you as a whole person, not just a set of health symptoms, and customize each acupuncture treatment to meet your needs. With this holistic approach, I partner with you to promote and support the inner self-regulating mechanisms responsible for restoring and maintaining the harmony and balance of your health and well-being.
When necessary, I use my expertise in mindfulness and mind-body approaches to help clients identify stressors and mental/emotional issues contributing to physical problems. I offer the Seasons in Our Life seminars for healing and self-improvement in order to provide you with the tools to find well-being, and happiness.

I believe in an integrative approach that combines various therapies, for example, acupuncture in conjunction with manual therapies; this provides more effective results, and it can also deepen the experience of the client. I sometimes teach mindfulness, breathing, life coping or counseling skills along with acupuncture in a session depending on the client' needs. Sessions are usually about 50'
