How I Work:

In my practice, I take an integrative approach to medicine, combining the many traditions and styles of acupuncture and Chinese medicine I have studied, in order to efficiently help you to address acute and chronic issues affecting your body, mind, and spirit, while equipping you with the knowledge, tools, and skills necessary for your thriving.

​

I see my role in two ways:

On the one hand, I am here as a clinician to directly create change for you in the direction of your health and well-being. I take this role very seriously, and work constantly to be as effective and precise as I can be. In this aspect of my work for you, my job is about understanding complexity and having the skill to directly create changes in your health .

​

On the other hand, I am also here to support and educate. Healing involves many factors, many of which are often in the hands of the patient. In this aspect of my role, I help you to create the conditions for healing in your mind, your heart, your body, and in your life. This involves being a trusted and caring companion along the healing journey, as well as being an educator to teach you the practices, habits, and mindsets you need to support your own healing.

 

I also believe that as a medical practitioner, my job is to put myself out of business. If I could make it so that everyone stayed healthy, and never needed me again, I would consider this a job well-done. Therefore, I aim not only to mend and address illness, but also to help you to be empowered to keep yourself healthy and well. And with good health as the foundation, it is my hope that you are then free to pursue whatever calls to you in this precious life, and to bring benefit to those around you. ​

Primary Modalities:

 

When you come in for the first time, we will discuss your conditions and your goals for treatment. After assessing all the available information, I will then recommend a treatment plan. This plan may include any of the following modalities, which are the primary modalities I employ in my treatments.​

​

Acupuncture: I use acupuncture to address many concerns that patients bring. From pain, to mental and emotional health, to internal medicine conditions of all kinds, acupuncture adjusts the functioning of the body and mind in precise ways to treat a wide range of conditions.
 

Chinese Herbal Medicine: Along with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine is one of the central pillars of traditional Chinese medicine, and it excellences in both nuance and potency in addressing many of the most challenging and complex health conditions prevalent today. I utilize herbal medicine in my practice for a vast variety of internal conditions, and depending on what issue you are coming in with, it may be at the heart of your treatment plan. Chinese herbal medicine consists of custom tea blends made from time-tested ingredients in pharmaceutical-grade, convenient powdered form which is easily consumed on the go, 2-3 times per day.

​

Medical Qi Gong: I employ this method of energywork to provide relief from pain and address internal medical conditions. Using my hands to adjust the flow and quality of energy in the body, this modality serves as an effective complement to my acupuncture, and is one of the more unique skills I bring to my treatments.

​

Rehabilitative Movement: For pain or orthopedic issues, I frequently utilize movement assessments and customized movement prescriptions to correct imbalances, alleviate physical discomfort, and enhance long-term functional freedom. Simple to perform, precise, and specifically targeted for your body based on our assessments, these type of rehabilitative practices have the crucial benefit of empowering you with the tools to stay pain free and functional far beyond our sessions. These are often a game-changer for my patients.
