Biography
I'm a neurologist with a passion for combining the best of conventional medicine with evidence-informed complementary approaches — including acupuncture, mind-body practices, nutritional support, and lifestyle medicine.
My clinical focus includes headache and migraine, neuropathy, radiculopathy and other chronic pain syndromes.
I completed my medical degree and a master's degree at Boston University School of Medicine and my neurology residency at Columbia University/New York-Presbyterian Medical Center. I'm a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture and an Assistant Professor of Neurology at OHSU.
