Philosophy of Care: Eastern Medicine is the wind that blows the leaf. Western Medicine is the leaf. We can see the leaf but we cannot see the wind, though we know the wind is there and we can see its effects. The leaf and the wind are both necessary. Using Western Medicine and Eastern Medicine together is what I believe in.

My goal is to help create the energetic pattern that will allow the body to heal.

Special Medical Interests: Stress seems to be the root cause for many modern illnesses. Treating emotional problems is one of my specialties. I am also interested in reproductive and gynecological problems, chronic endocrine diseases and pain.

Personal Interests: Figure drawing is one of my favorite things because it is like meditation for me. I also enjoy literature, movies, art museums and hiking in the city and the wonderful parks around Seattle. My cats bring me lots of joy as well.
