About Me

Humans fascinate me! I am passionate about helping you to get curious about your body and your life- this is what my first acupuncture teacher taught me. Through loving observation and exploration, healing happens.

I have been in general practice since 2013 and have developed specialties in reproductive health, mental health and facial rejuvenation. I assist people in all phases of life with symptoms related to hormonal and reproductive health, including fertility. Chinese medicine has a beautiful holistic framework for understanding how these phases and cycles impact our bodies. And, they are inseparable from our mind and our emotions. With acupuncture, herbal medicine, touch and guided practices I help people with anxiety, depression, and trauma become familiar with how to increase their bodymind’s capacity to carry them through their ups and downs. I also specialize in Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture, which enables patients to step out into the world with joy and confidence. I love how ancient layered views of the human experience can meet us wherever we are.

I started acupuncture treatment when a friend referred me to a wonderful practitioner. She said, “I don’t know what she’s doing but you have to try it!” At the time I was struggling with grief, a major life transition, disordered eating and substances. Had I gone to a doctor I probably would have been diagnosed with any number of things- but I found my acupuncturist. She helped me to find harmony in my body, to listen to it, and to trust it. I started sleeping better, I stopped drinking, my appetite and mood stabilized, allergies and menstrual symptoms cleared. It seemed like magic and I wanted to share it with others.

I earned my Masters of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, and continued study of advanced acupuncture and gynecology with Evan Rabinowitz, a senior student of Jeffrey Yuen. I am currently diving deep into the integration of Western trauma theory and Chinese medicine with Alaine Duncan. I have completed 500 hours of training in the Sivananda lineage of hatha yoga as well as VajraYoga training with Michele Loew and Robert Thurman. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Theater and English with a French minor from Goucher College. I am a Buddhist, camper, hiker, art lover, and native New Yorker living in East Baltimore with my husband, dog and two cats.
