I came to acupuncture through my own healing work, and I became an acupuncturist in order to give back the gift that I was given. I believe that acupuncture has a place in the healthcare ecosystem, not just because it can be a safe and gentle treatment for acute issues like pain and injury, but also because it helps prevent future health conditions by providing stress relief, better blood and lymph circulation, and less restricted physical movement. My goal is to bring acupuncture into people’s lives as both a complementary treatment for their health concerns and as an act of self-care. Acupuncture medicine is designed to treat the whole person, so treatments are created based on the patient’s unique constitution. I used both time-tested and modern techniques to address my patients’ concerns. When I’m not in the treatment room, you can find me going on long runs in the Wissahickon; watching scary movies with friends; and hanging out with my dog, Otter.
