New office! My patients tell me that my unique gift is that I help them tap into their own healing power, and they really can sense my healing power during the treatment. The Chinese medicine I practice truly brings all the essential elements of a healthy life to my patients. I not only use acupuncture and herbs, but also instructions on diet and life style changes, calming techniques, exercises, self-massage, etc. I believe a comprehensive healing method applied by both practitioner and patient is mostly beneficial to heal the patient's particular condition, to improve his/her general well-being.

I deeply believe that only a holistic approach to person’s health can get the reliable changes. Whether you are coming for, is chronic or acute pain, fertility issues, stress, insomnia or digestive problems, it is important to understand every aspect of imbalance and how it affects your Body, Mind and Spirit.

Welcome! I love working with teenagers, adults, and elderly folks who'd like to feel a little better than they do now. My patients have had success feeling better from issues such as chronic & acute pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, emotional stress, fatigue & burnout. I love working to address the root cause of these issues and unlocking your body's innate resources to heal and recover. I especially love working with people who are looking for growth, groundedness, and joy! If you are in a transitional phase in your life, I'd love to partner with you on your journey.
