I'm a neurologist whose focus includes:

• Headache and migraine
• Neuropathy (nerve pain and numbness)
• Radiculopathy (pain that radiates from the spine)
• Other chronic pain syndromes

Many of my patients have tried conventional treatments and are looking for additional options, and I find that integrating complementary therapies alongside standard neurological care can make a meaningful difference in how people feel day to day.

I have 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 goal is to offer a more complete toolkit for managing neurological conditions, particularly those involving chronic pain.

One of my core areas of expertise is acupuncture. I practice a structural, palpation-based approach that targets the specific anatomical sites contributing to a patient's pain. I've used this technique to help many patients find relief from chronic headache and pain conditions that haven't fully responded to other treatments. As an NIH-funded researcher, I stay closely connected to the scientific literature on acupuncture and other complementary therapies, so you can feel confident that what I recommend is grounded in the best available evidence.

Beyond acupuncture, I'm deeply interested in how supplements, dietary changes and mind-body practices (such as meditation and stress reduction) can support neurological health. I collaborate closely with colleagues at the National College of Natural Medicine and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, which allows me to draw on a broad network of expertise to benefit my patients.
