Andres was first drawn to acupuncture for the mental-emotional healing properties. Firsthand, he noticed the ability for acupuncture and herbs in unlocking the mental calm and fortitude needed to undo the stressors of modern living. His depth into the medicine grew into treating a large breadth of conditions, both mind and body, with equal vigor, employing both Chinese and Japanese techniques to tailor treatments towards the patient’s needs. A lifelong learner, he never hesitates to look deeper into better ways to treat his patients. His specialties include digestive conditions, depression, anxiety, intergenerational trauma, grief, pain management, insomnia, and fatigue disorders.

Health is a collaboration, and each individual is capable of finding solutions that are as unique and powerful as they are. By nurturing and caring for patients, Andres aims to ensure we all have the strength to extend an empathetic hand to our neighbors.
