Evaluating the body as a whole when diagnosing health conditions is a crucial part of this medicine. I listen to each individual patient to determine their particular imbalances. Through the use of acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxabustion, and various traditional techniques, as well as nutritional and lifestyle guidelines, I work with the patient to improve their overall health. Acupuncture facilitates the body's self-healing ability and mind-body balance, and has virtually no side effects when administered by a trained practitioner. I am commited to my patient's safety, and careful to consider existing health conditions and medications when deciding on a treatment plan and herbal formulas. If I see a reason for concern, I will refer a patient to an M.D. for appropriate evaluation and tests.

Traditional Chinese medicine can treat a wide variety of health conditions, from lowered immunity, to nausea, to musculoskeletal pain. I work with all these, and more. I primarily treat musculo-skeletal pain (low back, sciatica, neck & shoulder), arthritis and joint pain, women's health, including fertililty, pregnancy care, and menopause, and do supportive care for cancer patients. I am a gentle practitioner, taking great care to provide my patients with a comfortable and relaxing experience.
