I attended Five Branches University, in Santa Cruz, California, where I received my Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine degree in 1996, and I received my license to practice acupuncture from the California Acupuncture Board in 1997.
I studied Psychology and Biology in my undergraduate education at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In addition to my private practice in Chinese medicine, I also practiced in an Integrative Health clinic at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Our inter-professional clinic provided the best that each medical discipline has to offer and working together greatly improved the road to health and healing for our patients.
