Now in-network with CareOregon, PacificSource, Regence, and American Specialty Health :).

I am an acupuncturist and owner of Moon Lotus Holistic Healing located at Sunnyside Collaborative Care.

I graduated with my masters in Chinese medicine from The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, where I studied acupuncture, herbal medicine, Shiatsu, Qigong, and more! During my masters program I interned at the OCOM clinic, as well as at Outside In and Oldtown Clinic in Portland, OR. In addition, I have interned with practitioners that specialize in women's health. I am currently working on my doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

I enjoy providing patients with thorough, individualized, compassionate and comprehensive care throughout the lifespan. My goal is for each patient to feel heard, honored, and cared for.

When I am not spending time with patients I enjoy hanging out with my teenage son and our cat Storm.

I am currently in-network with CareOregon and PacificSource, and in the credentialing process with several other insurance companies.
