About Me
My lifelong passion for understanding the human condition has taken many forms. I've worked and studied in the fields of psychoneuroimmunology, psychology, bodywork and nutrition. I was delighted to discover Chinese Medicine in 1993 because it encompassed so many of my interests in a wholistic framework. I earned a Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches Institute in 1998 and have been in private practice since then on the Monterey Peninsula.
I am a general practitioner specializing in musculoskeletal conditions. I earned a diploma from the National Board of Acupuncture Orthopedics in 1999. In 2000, I was appointed an Acupuncturist Qualified Medical Evaluator by the State of California.
