Her clinical specialties include complementary medicine practices including acupuncture, diet, lifestyle and exercise consulting and coaching, dietary supplements and herbal medicine, mind-body medicine such as meditation and qi gong.

Research
Her research focuses on clinical trials on the effectiveness of acupuncture, research methodology in acupuncture and other complementary and integrative medicine modalities in urology and oncology.

She is currently one of the co-investigators of a large multi-center study funded by the NIH examining the safety and effectiveness of acupuncture in women with aromatase-induced arthralgias. Other current research studies include the investigation of acupuncture to reduce post-operative pain after urologic surgery and examining co-morbid conditions in men with prostate cancer on active surveillance. She has lectured nationally and internationally and has published over 30 peer-reviewed scientific articles and book chapters.
