Welcome to Integrity Acupuncture
& Herbal Medicine!
An Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine clinic located in the Thresholds Collective, a collaborative hub of healers and facilitators whose focus is to bring individuals home to their highest selves.
Healing with Integrity, Empowering Health
The word Integrity comes from the Latin Integritas, meaning oneness, wholeness. It speaks to the strength and honesty that arise when all parts of ourselves are welcomed - when we are unified, undivided, and truly whole.
Acupuncture and East Asian Herbal Medicine are rooted in this same principle. This medicine sees each person as a whole being and supports their journey toward balance - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Whether you're seeking relief from pain, migraines, injuries, digestive concerns, menstrual concerns, sleep issues, or allergies - or navigating the transitions of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or menopause - this practice offers safe, effective, and deeply supportive care.
At its core, this work is about more than symptom relief. It’s about discovering your most authentic self, resolving disease at its root, and experiencing the ease and vitality that flows when body, mind, and spirit are in harmony.

Board-Certified Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Registered Nurse
Hello, I’m one of the few practitioners in the Pacific Northwest licensed as both an Acupuncturist and Registered Nurse. With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a deep respect for both Eastern and Western medicine to my work.
I hold a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine, and have worked in settings ranging from Cardiac Care and Oncology to Community Health and Hospice Care. These experiences inform my holistic, patient-centered approach.
The word Integrity comes from the Latin Integritas, meaning oneness, wholeness. This is the heart of my practice: seeing each person as a whole and guiding them toward vitality in body, mind, and spirit. I offer care rooted in warmth, insight, and integrity - helping individuals find balance, relieve pain, resolve disease, and reconnect with their wholeness.
I welcome all health conditions in my practice and have specialized training in reproductive health, offering inclusive care for people of all genders. I also practice Tensegrity-Based Needling, a gentle and highly effective acupuncture approach that enhances precision and promotes lasting relief from pain.
I am currently accepting new patients, serving Tacoma and the surrounding areas of Olympia, Gig Harbor, Puyallup, Federal Way, Auburn, Lakewood, University Place and Fircrest.
