Clinical focus in complex digestive disorders — international telehealth practitioner with experience in in-person clinical settings
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, refinements are made deliberately until the response is clear.
Chronic digestive issues often need more than a fixed protocol or system of explanation. They need insight into each particular case.
Biography
I am a licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine with over two decades of clinical practice and experience working with digestive disorders at many levels of complexity.
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 all information available.
My Approach
- Precision herbal formulations
- Customized prescriptions using water-based extracts, adjusted according to response rather than fixed timelines
- Broad clinical analysis
- Medical data is contextualized rather than expected to stand alone. Patterns and processes guide treatment, rather than labels alone.
- Structured telehealth care
- One-on-one sessions with clear goals, tracking, and ongoing refinement.
“I work to create treatments that are effective where other’s have failed. People often leave sessions with a sense of relief that the process has individual 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 NCBAHM biomedicine board. This dual perspective allows me to work at the intersection of explanatory frameworks—drawing from both modern medicine 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 NCBAHM)
- BA in Philosophy – University of Delaware
I have practiced with patients from diverse backgrounds, contributed to peer-reviewed scientific literature, and 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. This is the great benefit of individualized treatment.
“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.”
