My approach is grounded in compassion and understanding.

I believe that every person is unique, and I tailor each session to meet your specific needs. I take great care to listen to your concerns and evaluate your health issues. Together, we formulate a treatment; and we work together, deciding as we go, using my expertise and your innate sense of self to guide a course of action forward.

I enjoy working with patients who know a lot about acupuncture and those who know very little. For folks who are experienced in self-care or Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am happy to learn what has worked well for you and build off this strong knowledge base. I honor your inner physician and intuitive thoughts about what you need. I don’t ever presume I know better than you.

I welcome fertility patients, based on my professional experience treating people going through the fertility process and my personal experience as a surrogate. I am also a parent to two children (both in college).

I am proud to have owned and operated Carrboro Community Acupuncture (2013-2020), which offered an affordable, grassroots model for acupuncture and served over four hundred patients during its seven-year tenure.

I’m here to support you on your journey to vibrant health, and I look forward to working alongside you every step of the way.
