My approach to endometriosis is very collaborative. I encourage patients to build their team of providers, which may include an excision surgeon, OBGYN, reproductive endocrinologist, acupuncturist, pelvic floor PT, mental health, and nutrition support. Acupuncture can address the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of chronic pain and can improve the quality of life for patients living with endometriosis. I am also a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and often discuss and prescribe supplements, medications, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle changes with my patients. Many patients with endometriosis also have significant digestive and bladder issues, so I often do workups and treatment for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Interstitial Cystitis (IC).

I take a holistic, functional approach to treating endometriosis pain. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help relieve pain and, to a degree, treat the underlying hormonal imbalances that cause endometriosis. But it takes integrated lifestyle changes, including good nutrition, appropriate supplements, exercise, maintaining detoxification pathways in the body, sleep, etc., to manage endo pain well. In severe cases, it can take a combination of my approach and surgery to get the pain. My goal is to work with you to get the care you need so you can feel better and have a better quality of life.

My number one goal is to help relieve endometriosis pain and help the patient have a more comfortable menstrual period and ovulation. This involves not only acupuncture but also recommending diet, lifestyle, supplements, and herbs.

We often say in our clinic that with endo, it takes a village. I enjoy working alongside the best excision surgeons, pelvic PTs, and mental health therapists in the industry.
My role as an integrative acupuncturist is to offer tools for pain management and overall better quality of life while living with endometriosis. I believe that a comprehensive approach to supporting the endometriosis patient means addressing the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of care.
