In order to create a healing environment, it is my intention to be thorough, honest, and gentle. It is important to me to not only address your unique health concerns, but also to improve your overall vitality. I want you to feel good: to have abundant energy, balanced emotions, and improved resistance to mild and severe illness. I recognize that healing is unique to each person, and so in partnership, I encourage you to be an active participant in the healing process.

I earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard University and was working successfully in the corporate arena before deciding to make Chinese medicine the central focus of my professional life. My 3-½ year long Master’s degree program in Traditional Chinese Medicine (M.TCM) at Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, California, integrated the practice of Chinese herbal medicine with acupuncture, a breadth of training that the majority of acupuncturists in Washington do not have. Although I am not considered a primary care provider here in Washington, I bring with me the knowledge and experience of that designation in California. I am licensed to practice acupuncture in Washington & California and am a National Board certified acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist.
