My practice focuses on helping people feel better by understanding the patterns behind their symptoms. Rather than treating each complaint as an isolated problem, I look at how the whole system is functioning — the nervous system, digestion, sleep, stress response, circulation, inflammation, and overall regulation of the body. Many patients come to my office for pain, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep problems, hormonal concerns, or chronic symptoms that have been difficult to resolve. I use acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Japanese meridian therapy, Kiiko-style acupuncture, and integrative assessment to create individualized treatments for each patient. My goal is to help the body settle, restore function, and create better conditions for healing. My approach is calm, practical, and pattern-based. I want patients to understand what their body may be trying to communicate and how treatment can help shift the underlying imbalance. Care is always tailored to the person in front of me, not just the diagnosis they walked in with.

I help patients find lasting relief from chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, and stress-related conditions through Classical Chinese Medicine and evidence-informed acupuncture. My approach combines classical pulse diagnosis, Kiiko-style palpation, and modern research to create truly individualized care. After 12 years in practice, I still find this medicine endlessly fascinating — and my patients consistently tell me that what surprises them most is how much better they feel, and how differently they understand their own body afterward.
