I began to look at the world of complementary medicine when symptoms I was experiencing were not abated through traditional avenues of western medicine. My search ultimately led me to acupuncture. Acupuncture complemented and balanced the traditional medical care I received and helped me regain well-being.

I began as a patient and eventually became a practitioner because I experienced its effectiveness personally.

I received my M.S. in acupuncture from Tri-State School of Acupuncture and am a New York State licensed and nationally board-certified acupuncturist and have been involved with alternative health modalities for over 20 years. Before becoming an acupuncturist, in addition to being a painter, I enjoyed a career in film and television as a designer and hold an M.F.A. from New York University
