Providing deep connection and holistic care, specializing in women's health and menopausal transitions.
What is your favorite part about being an acupuncturist?+
My favorite part about being an acupuncturist is the depth of connection this medicine allows. Acupuncture isn’t just about relieving pain, though it’s incredibly effective for that, it’s also a powerful support for mental and emotional well‑being. I love getting to know my patients as whole people and walking alongside them through so many different stages of life.
Do you have any specific areas of interest or specialization?+
While I treat a wide range of conditions and have been practicing acupuncture for almost 20 years, my primary specialty is women’s health—particularly the complex and often overlooked transition of perimenopause and menopause. I work with women experiencing natural, surgical, or medically induced menopause, helping them navigate this stage with more ease, clarity, and self‑compassion. Supporting women who feel stressed, overwhelmed, or out of sync during this transition is deeply meaningful to me. Guiding them toward fewer symptoms, more balance, and a renewed sense of agency is not only validating for them, but profoundly gratifying for me as a practitioner.
How many sessions does it usually take to see results?+
I recommend patients come in for 6 sessions to see how they will respond with coming in weekly to start and spreading out appointments as they start to feel better. Most patients notice benefit within this timeframe. With chronic pain, patients will most likely need to come in for monthly maintenance sessions.
When you aren't at the clinic, how do you like to spend your time?+
I love reading fantasy books and being in a monthly book club, spending time with family, friends and my 2 cats. My passion is international travel and exploring places off the beaten path. I have traveled to China, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, Italy, France, Netherlands, Greece and all around the United States. Next up: Prague and Vienna in 2026!

Specializing in mind-body medicine, chronic pain, migraines, and integrative oncology care.
What is your favorite part about being an acupuncturist?+
Practicing mind-body medicine reminds us that, in acupuncture—an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine—psychological well-being and physical health are not separate. When we help reduce physical pain, we often see a direct impact on anxiety, depression, and overall mood. Seeing how relaxed someone becomes immediately after a session is a powerful reminder of why I chose to study integrative medicine.
Do you have any specific areas of interest or specialization?+
I have a PhD from studying in China for three years treating stroke and neuromuscular pain. This has helped translate directly into how I approach headaches—migraines, tension headaches, hormonal etc. I have been a migraine sufferer my whole life, and acupuncture is one of the main things that drastically increased my quality of life. Tied with that is anxiety, depression, and treating neurodiverse populations (ADHD, ASD).
What are some of the most common conditions you see?+
The most common things we treat would be chronic low back pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, women's health and fertility, and oncology care. While most people hear about acupuncture mainly from a pain management perspective, treating side effects of oncology care (neuropathy, nausea, post-operative pain) is very common. With women's health it ranges from conditions like painful menstruation to fertility support (natural or IVF/IUI), and we are seeing more perimenopause into menopause patients to help with hormonal changes. Since acupuncture is holistic, we tend to see it all.
When you aren't at the clinic, how do you like to spend your time?+
When I'm not working in the clinic, I stay busy with my wife Samantha, and our two sons Pax and Tenzen. Lots of camping in the summer, spending as much time in nature as possible. If you see a guy speeding through Rochester on rollerblades, it's probably me!
