Our goal in working together with you is to develop a treatment plan, tailored to your needs, that will increase your health and wellbeing. We believe in continual growth and learning, to help us meet you where you are and to help you get to where you want to be. Acupuncture is all about treating people as they are now. I try to honor that by making a safe, judgement-free space so I can truly meet people as they are.
I started studying pre-med at college. While I was at college, I had the opportunity to go to Japan with a class to study ceramics. During my stay in Japan, I was invited by one of the hosts to apprentice in ceramics. I agreed to the apprenticeship, and the next fall was living in Japan. After my apprenticeship, I still wanted to be involved with healthcare, but I had been influenced by Asian culture and found myself drawn to acupuncture.
One day, I was talking with a chiropractic intern and mentioned my interest. He recommended I look at the acupuncture program at his school, Northwestern Health Sciences University.

Our combination of massage and acupuncture is very effective at reducing tension and increasing blood flow to the affected area.
This not only relieves pain but also helps the body to regenerate itself by bringing new resources to the area, allowing a deeper level of healing.
It is effective for chronic pain such as arthritis, newer injuries like slips or falls, and can even be used for improved recovery time after surgical procedures like knee replacements.

Acupuncture's benefits for sports medicine are two fold.
First, acupuncture can improve recovery time from injuries and exercise fatigue by reducing inflammation and swelling as well as increasing blood flow to the affected area to facilitate recovery.
Second, acupuncture and electro-acupuncture, by stimulating the muscles, may increase muscle efficiency and performance.
By targeting muscles that are over-worked or that are weak, we can work to harmonize muscle groups that are out of balance and get them working together again.

Acupuncture causes a release of endorphins from the brain, improving mood and energy levels and reducing pain.
By restoring normal function to the body systems, acupuncture can adjust the levels of other chemicals and hormones in the body and can have widespread benefits for your physical and mental health.
This is what makes acupuncture beneficial for many mental health concerns.
Two of the most common concerns that we treat are anxiety and depression.
Acupuncture views anxiety as a disharmony in the body that leads to mental agitation, worry, and overthinking.
