I am a second generation acupuncturist currently practicing in downtown Silver Spring, MD, at the Spectrum Center for Natural Medicine. I graduated with the 2002 class of the Tai Sophia Institute, which had the first accredited Masters of Acupuncture program in the country. I am also board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

I have pursued continuing education of many varieties and have completed workshops dealing with the treatment of skeletal-muscular conditions including blunt trauma, sprains, strains and tears, the eight extraordinary meridians and on working with addictions. While at TAI I worked extensively with clients in recovery from a variety of addictions. I have also recently completed a 2 year course of study in Chinese Herbal Medicine.

I am the cofounder of A Retreat About Balance. We are leading another retreat in February of 2009. Please see the website for more information.
