With over 15 years experience in community health in the SF Mission District and Oakland, my passion is to create accessible, dignified, and non-judgmental settings that support patient-centered care.

My goal is to help demystify acupuncture and East-Asian Medicine and provide a practical and sensible approach to support the body’s innate wisdom and healing potential.

I understand our experience is inextricable from our environment, and my goal is to honor each patient’s contextual reality to support the best possible outcomes for their care

I hold a Master of Science in TCM from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and completed my undergrad in Linguistics at UC Berkeley. Before finding Chinese medicine, I contributed to care at Lyon-Martin Health services, and FQHC Gender Affirming Primary Care Clinic, and now as acupuncturist I continue my work there supporting patients through chronic pain, mental end emotional wellbeing, and post-surgical recovery.

Born In SF and raised in Parma, Italy, I am fluent in Italian and Spanish, Outside of work I love connecting on the dance floor, especially through Cuban Salsa and Bachata

Languages spoken: Spanish, Italian.
