About Me
I am a licensed acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture (DAc) with a background in biology and pre-medical sciences from Stony Brook University. I trained in New York City, began my career in community acupuncture on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and later earned my doctorate in Integrative Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science.
I specialize in orthopedic and sports medicine acupuncture, integrating trigger point therapy, myofascial release, Western biomechanics, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat musculoskeletal pain, injuries, and surgical recovery. I also have extensive training in fertility and women’s health, which remains a core focus of my practice.
I have studied under internationally recognized pioneer Kiiko Matsumoto and leading practitioners of Acupuncture Physical Medicine. My work is grounded in modern, effective acupuncture techniques and a compassionate, patient-centered approach.
