Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, sterile, single-use needles into the body. This creates a number of physiological responses that result in decreased pain, decreased inflammation, and an improved sense of well-being. Many conditions can be improved with acupuncture such as musculoskeletal injuries, asthma, insomnia, digestive problems, headaches, emotional trauma, menstrual and menopausal symptoms, infertility, common discomforts of pregnancy, childbirth preparation, and recovery from surgery or chemotherapy. Duration of treatment and expected results depend upon the severity and complexity of the medical condition.

Integrative Medicine
While I am no longer accepting patients seeking a primary care provider, I can work closely with your doctor to optimize your healing. I have accepted referrals from family practitioners, surgeons, obstetricians, midwives, and oncologists. Lifestyle and dietary modifications, exercise therapies, and stress reduction are key components of any medical system and will be encouraged. I have a strong background in preventative medicine and women's health, but will see any patient interested in exploring an integrative approach to wellness.
