Prior to acupuncture school, I worked in the corporate world for 10 years. My tasks involved finding "bugs" in applications so they operated without errors. The computer world may seem significantly different from acupuncture, but I see a similarity between them. The "bugs" are the symptoms that emerge to inform us of the body's imbalances.  Acupuncture goes further by determining the root cause of those symptoms or distress, whether it is physical, mental, or emotional. 

I believe acupuncture awakens the body’s natural ability to establish equilibrium and connection by tapping into the healing already within. 

In my practice, I approach treatment through a trauma-informed lens and offer a judgement-free space where safety is of utmost importance. I have treated acute and chronic physical pain, anxiety, allergies, insomnia, menopausal symptoms, stress-related concerns, as well as mental and emotional distress. I am passionate about treating the manifestations of stress and trauma, and how it affects an individual personally, relationally, systemically, and collectively. 

I am open to treating individuals of any background. My clients have included: children, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens. I may not relate to your experiences, but I am willing to listen and hold space for you.
