Anxiety and mental well being

Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine & Yoga for Anxiety and Mental Well-Being

Anxiety can affect sleep, digestion, concentration, and your sense of ease.
In Chinese medicine, these signs indicate that the nervous system and the flow of Qi (vital energy) need support. At my Brooklyn practice, I combine acupuncture, Chinese medicine, yin yoga, breathwork, and lifestyle guidance to calm the mind and build lasting resilience.

Acupuncture for Anxiety & Stress

Acupuncture is a gentle, effective way to quiet the stress response. Using carefully selected points, treatment can:

  • Reduce tension and restlessness

  • Lower cortisol and balance mood

  • Promote restorative sleep

Patients often leave sessions feeling calm, clear, and light. Regular visits help create long-term stability while we develop easy practices for use between treatments.

Chinese Medicine for Emotional Balance

Anxiety may present in different ways according to Chinese medicine patterns:

  • Heart Qi disharmony → racing thoughts, palpitations

  • Spleen strain from overthinking → fatigue, digestive upset, brain fog, overthinking

  • Kidney depletion from chronic stress → fear, low vitality

  • Liver Qi stagnation → irritability, tension, reactivity

A personalized plan may include acupuncture, customized herbal formulas, nutrition, and breathwork to address symptoms at their root.

Yin Yoga & Breath work For the nervous system

Yin yoga and breathwork extend the benefits of acupuncture between visits.
I create short, sustainable practices — like needle-less acupuncture — to release stored tension, support the meridians, and calm the parasympathetic nervous system.

Creating Calm in the midst of chaos

City life is fast and stimulating, your acupuncture experience shouldn’t be. My treatment room offers a quiet retreat where you can reset, recharge, and reconnect. I dedicate my time to offering the right combination of modalities for your constitution. Together we create the space to discover the best step forward to anxiety relief and emotional balance.
