My goal is to help you achieve optimum health and wellness. Having evolved over thousands of years, Acupuncture is one of the oldest continually practiced medical modalities in the world. Acupuncture is used to prevent and treat disease, relieve pain, balance mood, enhance performance, increase fertility, and improve overall health and wellness.

My personal belief and experience is that each and every person can heal naturally - our body wants to be healthy, pain free and full of life! Here, the setting is a medical practice located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan; it has a clean and crisp decor with a spa-like atmosphere making you feel comfortable and at ease the moment you walk in. Each patient is given one-on-one attention in a private room to get the best care possible.

Once your care is complete, you will leave feeling relaxed and invigorated while your body continues the process of healing even after your treatment.

As an acupuncturist and hypnotherapist, my goal is to act as a catalyst for positive change in every patient. I specialize in a unique treatment that I refer to as "hypnoacupuncture," which is a combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Combining the power of hypnosis with acupuncture has proven to create treatments that are effective on all levels: physical, mental, and emotional. Many patients describe these sessions as life-altering, and find them to be more deeply relaxing than anything they have ever experienced before. I treat many patients for weight-loss and smoking cessation, but I have found that these combination sessions of hypnosis and acupuncture can benefit endless issues, including depression, anxiety, and insomnia. At Healing Point Therapeutics, my mission is to have every patient leave the treatment table prepared to reach their highest potential in health and well-being.
