I’m a practitioner of East Asian (previously referred to as Oriental) medicine and have had careers in both Western and East Asian medicines over the past 30 years. I understand and appreciate the inherent strengths in these two medicines and how they can work together to the benefit of the patient in dealing with their health issues.
I began my medical career as a X-ray technologist in a larger hospital in Portland, Oregon where I worked for more than a decade. There, I specialized in surgical X-ray but also performed general diagnostic imaging procedures in the radiology department.
After suffering with several chronic health conditions myself for a number of years, and not being content with a lifetime of pain and powerful prescription medications, I tried East Asian medicine. After several months of weekly acupuncture treatments and daily Chinese herbal medicine, my chronic health issues and my quality of life dramatically improved.
I was so impressed with what acupuncture and East Asian medicine had done to improve my life that I decided to enroll in the Master’s degree program at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). I graduated from OCOM in 2001 and started my private practice in Portland shortly thereafter. Thirteen years later I made the decision to further educate myself, enrolling in the Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) post-graduate degree program at OCOM which focuses on treating women’s health issues and chronic conditions in aging adults, evidence-based medicine, integrative medicine, teaching, and research. I graduated from the DAOM program in 2018.
I am passionate about practicing acupuncture and East Asian medicine. I’ve steeped myself in education and training so that I can delve deep into the health concerns my patients come to me with. I’m continually amazed at what East Asian medicine and acupuncture can do on both physical and emotional levels to address acute and chronic health issues. Helping patients through this journey is what I’m truly passionate about.
I’ve been married to my wonderful husband (a native Mississippian) for thirty years, and am the proud mom of two adult children. I love cooking, travel, gardening, movies, and the arts.
