I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in the state of California as well as a nationally recognized Diplomat of Oriental Medicine. I have a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine from
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California. I was born in Connecticut and relocated to Arizona in 1997 where I obtained a bachelors of science in Sociology. After graduation in 2000, I immediately found San Diego calling me and have been here ever since.

I am a strong proponent of preventing disease and maintaining mental, emotional and physical well being by returning the body to a state of balance and harmony. When both the body and mind are balanced, health ensues.  My goal is to empower others to take control of the state of their health through proper diet, nutrition and physical fitness.

I honor myself and my patients by taking care of myself as I advise others to do. I have been practicing yoga steadily for the past 5 years. I enjoy outdoor activities such as biking, hiking and taking full advantage of this beautiful city we live in. I love to learn and pass on knowledge to those who have an interest. I truly believe our bodies are amazing machines which are capable of healing themselves with the non-invasive use of acupuncture, herbs and proper diet.
