FOUNDER | ACUPUNCTURIST + HERBALIST

After 14 years in practice, I wake up every day passionate about helping you achieve optimal health, whatever that means to you. My goal is to demystify Traditional Chinese Medicine and translate the perspective and philosophy into something usable and understandable. I am deeply rooted in logic and rich in experience.

We built Common Point — a modern approach to acupuncture — to make Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture more accessible. 

All of our programs have a foundation in the Basics: Simple rules in health that you should always return to. We’re lucky to have a world of health information at our fingertips, and while most of it’s meant to be helpful, the sheer volume of it all can be overwhelming. Yes, there will always be new studies, findings, and remedies. But when you distill it all down, there are certain foundational principles in health that will always remain true—no matter what.

ACUPUNCTURIST + HERBALIST

My passion for Chinese Medicine and the desire to pursue it as a career came when my father was diagnosed with renal cancer 10 years ago. As my father was going through cancer treatment, I saw how acupuncture and Chinese Medicine provided him with relief from pain and from the many side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. I saw how the Chinese Medicine doctor brought a depth of compassion and care, which moved and inspired me. She showed me what it means to treat a person holistically and how important it is to treat not just the body, but also the emotions.

I’m a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in NY State certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)®. I earned my Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) and Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.

My greatest joy is helping each patient re-discover their own innate healing abilities and build healthy, sustainable connection with their inner world.

I am a passionate foodie and world traveler and a champion at doing jigsaw puzzles.
