I am a nationally board-certified and state-licensed acupuncturist in Oregon and Washington, specializing in acupuncture, cupping, and lifestyle support to help each patient feel their best. With a background in Western medicine, I focus on treating the root cause of health issues, by integrating both western and eastern medicine. I see each person as a unique puzzle, working to find the missing pieces that restore balance and well-being. My goal is to create long-term health solutions through personalized treatment, prevention, and patient empowerment. I treat pain, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, mental-emotional health, ENT concerns, neurological issues, women’s health, reproductive concerns, and migraines.
On weekends, I love spending time with my kids, exploring the coast, hiking, enjoying live music, and trying new restaurants. Though I’m new to Oregon City, I already love the community and welcome any local recommendations!
