“After receiving the immediate and amazing effects of auricular acupuncture myself, I wanted to learn how to provide this treatment for my patients. Now I can offer more than just prescription medication, using a combination of both eastern and western philosophies of care.”

Our goal is to increase awareness and access to acupuncture for the treatment of mental health conditions and to especially welcome the LGBTQ+ community. We know that the LGBTQ+ population disproportionately experiences discrimination, oppression, and trauma leading to higher rates of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and suicide. We invite you to heal with us at our weekly acupuncture clinic.
What happens during a treatment?
You will fill out a short intake form with your medical history and treatment goals.
Please cleanse your ears with the provided alcohol swab before & after the treatment.
The provider will go around the room and insert needles into each ear.
It is best to allow the needles to remain in place for at least 20 minutes.
Before you leave, the provider will return to you to safely remove the needles.
How often should I receive a treatment?
Initial effects are immediate and last approximately 1-2 weeks. We recommend repeating the treatment weekly for at least 8-10 weeks to get the best results.
Only single-use, sterile, stainless steel, disposable needles are used in the clinic.
Acupuncture is a treatment where fine needles, as tiny as a strand of hair, are inserted into specific points on the body to balance the flow of Qi (pronounced chi). When the flow of Qi is blocked, health problems can appear.
Auricular acupuncture involves inserting needles on the ears. The auricle of the ear is a complete microsystem of the human body, with over 200 specific points corresponding to the body and brain.
Acupuncture is generally very safe. Only single-use, sterile, stainless steel, disposable needles are used in the clinic. Common side effects include drowsiness, minor bleeding and bruising, initial worsening of symptoms, and fainting. Serious side effects are very rare, fewer than 1 in 10,000 treatments. In order to reduce the risk of side effects, it is very important to tell us if you are pregnant, taking medications that increase bleeding (like coumadin/warfarin), have a bleeding disorder, seizure disorder, heart disorder, diabetes, metal implants of any kind, or reduced immune function.
