I support women through every chapter of life — from hormonal shifts in adolescence to fertility journeys, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond. My approach combines deep respect for traditional wisdom with rigorous clinical insight. I draw on my training in acupuncture and holistic medicine, as well as my experience interpreting functional labs to help you find real, lasting balance.

Too often, women are told to simply manage symptoms without digging into why their body is out of sync, but I can be a bit of a dog on a bone which drives me to get to the root. Instead of surface-level fixes I explore how the endocrine system (hormones), adrenal health (stress), and gut function might be contributing to your experience.

During your sessions, I combine acupuncture with other tools (i.e. herbal medicine, cupping, or bodywork) to support your body on multiple levels. Each treatment is tailored to where you are in your cycle, your stress load, and your health history. Over time, this integrative work helps reset patterns, restore balance, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

You’re in the right place if you’ve been frustrated by conventional care that only addresses symptoms or treats symptoms with more medications. Whether you're navigating irregular cycles, fertility challenges, postpartum recovery, thyroid or adrenal concerns, or entering perimenopause and menopause, I’m here to listen, guide, and advocate for you.

Many of my clients come to me after lab results look normal but they don't feel normal physically, or when they feel like no one is seeing the whole picture. I can listen to your health history and review your labs as well as help you communicate with other providers, discussing how to ask the right questions in order to get the care you need.

My goal is to help you feel your best at any age, in any phase of your health journey. Together, we’ll build a plan that meets you where you are now and supports where you want to go.
