I have been a practicing physician for over 20 years. My training began in New York, where I completed both my residency and geriatrics fellowship. Following that, I joined Memorial Sloan Kettering, where I spent five years immersed in cancer care, deepening my understanding of complex illness and the strength of the human spirit. I later joined the geriatrics team at Mission Hospital in Asheville, serving as an attending and mentoring fellows to improve the quality of care for older adults.

​

For the past 13 years, I have worked as a Hospitalist at Mission Hospital, practicing acute internal medicine. I continue this work today, alongside a broader vision of medicine that honors both evidence and intuition. My approach has been shaped not only by clinical experience, but also by

my upbringing in a family of physicians who practiced medicine as a lifelong art—one rooted in presence, curiosity, and care. I believe deeply that healing begins when we take the time to understand the root, not just the symptom.

In pursuit of a more complete understanding of the body and mind, I have completed additional training in Functional Medicine, IV infusion therapies, and Medical Acupuncture for Physicians.

​

I am also educated in native herbal medicine, which I view as a profound biochemical ally — complementing, and at times offering an alternative to, conventional pharmaceuticals and their side effects.

​

Through acupuncture, I have come to understand that healing can occur on multiple levels. On one side, there is the physical body, with its symptoms and treatments. On the other, there is a more subtle level—an energetic field of patterns and frequencies through which the body communicates and self-regulates. Both are real, both are vital, and together they allow for a more complete approach to healing.This integrative path is not separate from Western medicine, but rather, a way of deepening its reach.

​

In my practice, I maintain close collaboration with specialists across disciplines, including Functional Medicine, permaculture, and earth-based healing workshops—inviting the body to reconnect with the rhythms of nature and the quiet intelligence of healing. We also offer Qi Gong classes as a gentle and powerful practice to support balance, breath, and inner vitality.

​

In my free time, I enjoy being with family, traveling, and discovering the Divine in the most subtle, ordinary moments—where quiet beauty often reveals itself.
