Biography:

I employ a gentle approach to treatment in both needling techniques and in the relationships I develop with patients. Believing that acupuncture empowers the patient, I help the patient's body help itself by correcting and balancing the flows of energy.

An acupuncture practitioner with over 20 years experience, I've studied Traditional Chinese and Japanese styles including traditional meridian therapy, Kiiko style, non-insertive styles of Hari and Shakuju, and shonishin, a non-insertive pediatric acupuncture therapy. Treatments may also incorporate Zheng Gu Tui Na (a form of Chinese medical massage) Reiki, Meditation, and QiGong. I love to learn and am constantly expanding my knowledge. Earning a Doctorate of Acupuncture degree from Pacific College of Health and Sciences, Master of Acupuncture degree from the New England School of Acupuncture, a BS in Industrial Engineering and BA in Psychology from the State University of New York at  Buffalo. I’m also a certified Sacred Depths Practitioner. Upon graduation from NESA I received the Tsay Fellowship, a distinguished award for Excellence in Acupuncture. I’ve continued to study under various masters of acupuncture both in the United States and in Japan, and completed clinical training at Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the People’s Republic of China.

I’ve served as a chairperson to teams performing accreditation site visits for the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, working with various acupuncture and Oriental medicine (AOM) institutions with the goal of enhancing the quality of AOM education. I’ve also served as the AOM Clinic Director and full time Associate Professor at the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine of New York Chiropractic College, providing coordination and oversight of all aspects of clinical education, while acting as a supervising clinician and teaching classes in Integrative Medical Practices, Clinical Skills, Advanced Clinical Skills, as well as Physics. Prior to that, I was the Student Affairs Coordinator and a Teaching Assistant at the New England School of Acupuncture.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing the gentle and powerful healing tools of Integrative Medicine.
