Specialist in complex digestive disorders — international telehealth practice
Having lived with a digestive disorder myself, I understand the confusion and uncertainty it creates. Many people come to me after years of conflicting advice and treatments that never clearly helped—or quietly made things worse.
My role is to make sense of that complexity and identify a clear inroad. When the formulation is right, meaningful improvement often follows quickly. If not, adjustments are made deliberately until the response is clear.
I work at the boundary between explanatory models, translating them rather than forcing one to dominate. But the core of my work is precise herbal prescribing—formulations that are safe, targeted, and responsive to change. The goal is care that is both understandable and actionable, so progress is not vague or deferred, but observable.
Biography
I am a licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine with over two decades of clinical practice. My work focuses on translating complex clinical information into herbal strategies that are precise, safe, and responsive. This approach is especially suited to complex digestive disorders, where clarity of response matters more than prolonged trial-and-error.
My practice is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I understand about the broader disruption that comes when the body does not regulate well. That perspective informs how I work with patients: attentively, practically, and with close attention to what actually changes.
My Approach
- Precision herbal formulations
- Customized prescriptions using Tianjiang Pharmaceuticals extracts, adjusted based on response rather than fixed timelines
- Holistic clinical analysis
- Patterns and processes guide treatment, rather than labels alone.
- Structured telehealth care
- One-on-one sessions with clear goals, tracking, and ongoing refinement.
“I aim to create treatment that is both effective and understandable. People often leave sessions with a clearer understanding of what’s happening and a sense of relief that the process now has structure and direction.“
My Background
I began studying Chinese medicine in 2002, after earlier training in Western science and philosophy. My medical education included extensive coursework in biomedical sciences, and I passed the NCCAOM biomedicine board. This dual perspective allows me to work at the intersection of explanatory frameworks—drawing from both biomedicine and Chinese medicine—translating between them rather than privileging one over the other. My education and licensing include:
- Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM, Lic. #936, NM)
- MS in Oriental Medicine – International Institute of Chinese Medicine / Southwest Acupuncture College
- Diplomate in Oriental Medicine (Dipl.OM, #29446 NCCAOM)
- BA in Philosophy – University of Delaware
I have practiced with patients from diverse backgrounds, contributed to peer-reviewed scientific literature, supervised students and taught courses at Southwest Acupuncture College.
Why This Matters
Chronic digestive disorders often involve long periods of uncertainty, self-monitoring, and ineffective or counterproductive interventions. My goal is to reduce that burden by providing care that responds clearly and adjusts decisively, rather than asking patients to wait indefinitely without feedback.
“Becoming a better bridge requires engaging seriously with both Western and East Asian modes of thought. That engagement allows for care that is grounded, coherent, and clinically useful.”
