People always ask: What do you treat?
In my practice, I enjoy treating the wide range of challenges, concerns, and seasons of life people move through. From stress, anxiety, and pain to digestive issues, insomnia, and emotional overwhelm, acupuncture offers a deeply supportive way to reset and realign.
I often work with women through the many phases of reproductive health: regulating cycles, easing menstrual pain, supporting preconception and fertility, tending to the body during pregnancy, and helping with recovery after birth. I also care for those navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the emotional terrain that can come with change.
Additionally, I provide gentle, supportive care for those managing the side effects of cancer treatment—addressing fatigue, nausea, pain, and more—with sensitivity and respect for wherever you are in your process.
Many come in for a specific issue, and stay because they start feeling more like themselves again—clearer, steadier, more at ease in their bodies.

What does acupuncture feel like?
Most people describe the sensation as calming—sometimes warming, sometimes deeply still. The needles are very thin, and the experience is often surprisingly gentle. Some feel a light heaviness or a dull ache that fades quickly. Others just feel themselves exhale for the first time all day.

What if I’m afraid of needles?
You’re not alone. Many of my patients were nervous at first. We go slowly, with care at every step. And if something doesn’t feel right—we shift. There are many ways to support the body gently.

What should I wear to my appointment?
Something comfortable is best. You’ll be lying down and relaxing, and we’ll need access to your arms, lower legs, and sometimes your abdomen or back. If what you’re wearing isn’t ideal, no stress—I have soft cotton gowns available.

Can acupuncture support emotional well-being?
Absolutely. From a traditional East Asian perspective, emotional and physical health are one and the same. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, or the aftershocks of a major life shift, acupuncture and herbal support can help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of internal steadiness.

How many sessions will I need?
That depends on what we’re treating and how long it’s been present. I’ll always be honest and collaborative about what I recommend. Some come weekly for a season, others check in monthly for maintenance or emotional support. It’s your body—we work with its pace.

Do you take my insurance?
I don’t take any insurance. This allows me to offer unhurried, one-on-one care without the limitations or rushed timelines insurance often imposes. Every session is tailored, quiet, and focused—designed to meet you where you are. That being said I do offer Superbills upon request
