It is my passion to help you feel at ease in your body, mind, and spirit. Our bodies are wise; they know how to heal themselves, but sometimes they just need a little guidance.
Nearly a decade ago, I found myself lost. I had forgotten who I truly was at my core, feeling afraid, directionless, and, quite frankly, at rock bottom. Thankfully, I saw an acupuncturist who began to lovingly guide me back to my true self. Following her recommendation, I attended an open house at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, where I would eventually graduate with a Master of Acupuncture degree a few years later. If you’re struggling, feeling intense emotions, or navigating a difficult life transition, know that you’re not alone, and healing is possible.
Sometimes the cause of our discomfort is clear— like indulging in too much spicy food, leading to an upset stomach. Other times, especially for those of us who have experienced trauma, the source of our suffering runs much deeper. Fortunately, there are gentle and safe tools available to help restore the body to a state of balance.
As an acupuncturist, I enjoy working with the Five Element model, which honors our connection to the cycles of nature. This approach helps clear internal blockages, allowing us to relax and embody our essential selves. Another modality I’m certified in is the Tao of Trauma, a hands-on approach that helps us complete thwarted protective responses and reclaim stuck energy. I also practice Zero Balancing, which releases deeply held tension and knots, creating space and ease within the body. Additionally, I utilize herbs to support your health, drawing on my degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts.
No matter how your difficulties manifest—be it anxiety, stress, headaches, or stomach upset—I’m here to help you address the root cause, remember your wholeness, and find grounding and ease. We’re all in this together, and I’d be honored to work with you on your healing journey.
When I’m not in the treatment room, I recharge by spending time in the woods, practicing Tai Chi, dancing to the Five Rhythms, or playing with my energetic golden retriever, Sophie.
