About Dr. Ev

Founder and Doctor of East Asian Medicine at ECHO Acupuncture

​

Most people who come to ECHO have already been trying to figure things out for a while.​

Something isn’t fully resolving. Or it improves, then returns. Or it shifts shape without ever really settling. For some, it shows up as pain. For others, as stress, fatigue, or health concerns that never quite go away.​

​​

Most people arrive here after having to navigate a lot of conflicting information—and not all of it useful.​

Many have tried the protocols, the supplements, the trending advice—often with real effort and intention—only to find that it doesn’t lead to lasting change. In an environment where health information is constantly being packaged for attention, it can be difficult to tell what is actually useful, and what is simply well-presented.​

My own path into this work included sorting through that same landscape — trying what was recommended, seeing what didn't hold, and eventually finding approaches that did. Part of what that meant was discovering that East Asian Medicine, practiced at its depth, offers something genuinely different — not just another tool, but a different way of understanding what the body is doing and why. That experience continues to shape how I practice: with care, with discernment, and with a focus on what actually creates change in the body over time.​

Not just addressing symptoms as they appear, but looking at the underlying patterns that allow those symptoms to keep returning—and working in a way that supports lasting change, whenever possible.

Treatment isn’t fixed to a single method. It shifts depending on what’s needed.​

Sometimes that means direct, focused care—reducing pain, improving function, or supporting the underlying conditions that allow the body to change in a clear and practical way.

​​

Other times, the work is more systemic—supporting sleep, digestion, hormonal regulation, or the broader internal patterns shaping how the body is functioning.

​​

And often, it includes attention to how stress and internal tension are held and carried in the body, and how those deeper patterns begin to shape physical health over time.​

Care evolves as the body reorganizes—not just as symptoms appear or disappear.​

This approach is supported by a range of tools, including multiple acupuncture techniques, advanced clinical herbal medicine, and complementary methods within East Asian Medicine such as cupping and moxa. When it’s useful, guidance around diet, supplements, or lifestyle can be layered in—but always in a way that is realistic and sustainable.

​​

In the treatment room, the process is responsive and precise. There isn’t a standard formula applied across the board. Treatment is shaped in real time, guided by how the body presents and how it responds.

​​

This also means working within real life.

​​

When deeper changes are possible, I help guide them in a way that is steady and manageable. When they’re not, care is adapted to help manage symptoms and support a greater sense of ease in your body.​

The goal isn’t to force change or chase quick fixes. It’s to understand what the body is actually able to shift—and to consistently support that process in a way that can be integrated and maintained over time.

That is the work at the heart of ECHO.
