What drew you to your specialty? I had always been interested in working in health care since I was young but wasn’t sure the route I wanted to take. After seeking acupuncture to help recover from sports injuries, I knew I had found my way. The help that it brought me was something I wanted to be able to offer to others.

What is your favorite part of your job? Connecting with patients and working with them in an integrative setting. Working side by side with an excellent team of care providers, I can deliver the best that acupuncture can offer to every patient. Acupuncture can help with a huge variety of concerns and I am able to support each patient individually, no matter what is going on in their life.

What would you like to tell patients and their families about integrative therapies and your specialty? Acupuncture is for everyone- adults and children alike. We formulate treatments that are appropriate for your needs and concerns, no matter what you’re experiencing that day. We’re not limited to needling- we offer acupressure and other treatments without needles as part of your care.
