I first came to acupuncture in my 30’s as a patient with significant chronic knee pain. Acupuncture gave me great relief before, during and after multiple surgeries. Now in my own practice, I help clients not only with pain, but with a wide range of diagnoses and concerns: arthritis, migraines, digestion issues, reproductive issues, insomnia, depression, neurological disorders, addiction and more. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other TCM modalities work hand-in-hand with Western medicine to bring balance and health to the body. I continually take classes and workshops, and educate myself on new developments and research in TCM theory and practice so that I can better serve my clients in their pursuit of wellness.

I hold a dual Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and Chinese Herbal Medicine from New England School of Acupuncture at MCPHS. I am licensed to practice acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
