I’ve been practicing acupuncture in Brooklyn since 2008, when I graduated from Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City. In 2011 I opened Brooklyn Open Acupuncture, a sliding scale clinic, where I had the privilege of supporting expanded access to acupuncture while developing my skills in community for nearly a decade before transitioning to private practice in 2020. I have formally studied body and energy work, herbs, anatomy, and orthopedic acupuncture, but am fundamentally a student of the people I treat and my own body. I am continually learning from the resilience, persistence, beauty, suffering, and love in the continual death and rebirth of body and spirit. My practice is informed by East Asian Medicine, varied traditions of acupuncture, movement, and spiritual practice in addition to biomedical anatomy, and I’m in debt to my teachers and all participants of the lineages I have had the privilege of learning from, the clinicians I’ve worked with, and the people I’ve treated.
