I see the healing process as collaborative endeavor using information gathered 

from our relationship and the doctors you are seeing. Our goal is to achieve a 

flexible energetic state of the body, mind, and spirit. In addition to addressing 

your chief complaint, a very important part of my practice is to pay close 

attention to the signs of underlying conditions that have created the disease 

or have prevented recovery. I am trained in a variety of acupuncture styles and

nutrition approaches to help you achieve your health goals and to engender a 

more complete and lasting wellness. 

• Japanese  style of acupuncture in the tradition of Kiiko Matsumoto, which uses a gentle needle technique and palpation of reflex areas to focus on structural and/or constitutional imbalances that often underlie a patient’s symptomatic complaints.
  
• Five Element acupuncture, in the tradition of Lorie Eve Dechar which facilitates psychological and spiritual healing.​
  
• Acupuncture Physical Medicine developed by Dr. Mark Seem, which utilizes myofascial trigger point release.
  
• Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a safe, effective alternative to  plastic surgery, laser treatment, dermabrasion, chemical peels, collagen and botox. It helps the face look younger, healthier and more radiant.
• In addition to these approaches, I employ various techniques including auricular acupuncture, electrical stimulation, cupping, cold laser, moxibustion, gua sha and Nutritional Response Testing (NRT).
