I experience great joy in being an acupuncturist as it combines my love of helping people and my desire to continually be challenged. Ever since my clinical internship at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM), I have been in awe of the power of Chinese Medicine. To this day I experience wonder in the variety of conditions I've witnessed it help first hand. Because of this, I am joyful in my work every single day. It is because of this that I wish to share this medicine with everyone I can. It is my intention to be able to guide you through all the layers of your continued healing.
I am licensed by the Oregon Medical Board to practice acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the state of Oregon
I obtained my Masters of Oriental Medicine from The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, which was, at the time, a premier, internationally recognized school of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately OCOM closed it's doors in 2024.
I have a Bachelor's Of Science from Portland State University.
I am certified through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)
When I'm not at the clinic I enjoy spending time with my husband and my friends and family. I love physical exercise of all types. Some of my favorite activities are walking with my dogs, jogging, yoga, and Starcycle. I also enjoy drinking coffee, hiking, and the ocean. I can often be found hanging out with my dogs, Cosmo and Harley, or reading a book or enjoying my plants and bird-feeders. I also love movies!
The top of the line high quality massage table is the talk of the town! We have a a fleece lined table warmer with an additional fluffy fleece liner and soft linens. Everyone loves it and most people report feeling comfortable and relaxed during their acupuncture treatment.
I treat the whole person so I like to engage all of your senses during your visit. I play comforting music in spacious treatment room which is full of natural light. There are green plants throughout the clinic.
There is a separate waiting area, and all the files are stored electronically with the highest encryption. I do not share any of your private and personal information. I want you to feel assured that you and your health are my top priority.
