Welcome to Integrity Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine!
An Acupuncture and 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.
The word integrity comes from the Latin integritas, which means oneness, wholeness. It is the strength and honesty that comes from being unified, whole, and undivided; where all the parts of oneself are welcomed.
The practice of Acupuncture and East Asian Herbal Medicine is one which seeks to see each person as a whole, and to help guide them toward their unique balance.
It excels in treating all sorts of conditions such as acute or chronic pain, sports injuries, migraines and headaches, digestive issues, sleep problems, and allergies; as well as supporting individuals through pregnancy, labor/delivery prep, post-partum recovery, and alleviating peri-/post-menopausal symptoms.
We can use this medicine to discover our most authentic truths, to resolve disease, and to experience the health and vitality that flows when we are integrated within body, mind, and spirit.

Hello! I am a nationally board-certified Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and Registered Nurse— one of the few practitioners in the Pacific Northwest licensed as both an Acupuncturist and a Registered Nurse.
I hold a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine and have been working in healthcare since 2006. My experience spans Cardiac Care, Oncology, Community Health, and Hospice/Palliative Care, giving me a deep understanding of both Eastern and Western medicine. Now in private practice, I blend these perspectives to provide holistic, patient-centered care.
I treat all health conditions, and am one of a growing number of practitioners that utilizes Tensegrity-Based Needling, a unique approach to acupuncture that enhances precision and effectiveness to provide lasting relief from pain. I have also received specialized training in reproductive health, providing inclusive care for people of all genders seeking support with cycles, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, and overall well-being.
