My training in acupuncture at both the UCLA Medical School/HMI Medical Acupuncture for Physicians program and the Tai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts has provided me a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western approaches to health and wellness. My experience as a health provider, administrator, and educator at the University of Maryland for more than 40 years and as a clinical faculty preceptor in the UCLA/HMI program for the last 14 years has given me the opportunity to teach and practice in a variety of health care settings. My practice philosophy is that the ideal relationship between the practitioner and the patient is a partnership. It is that bond through which healing best occurs and well-being flourishes.
