I grew up in a small town just north of Manhattan, where I was exposed to both the tranquility and slowness of the Hudson Valley as well as the movement and buzz of New York City. Moving between these two environments from a young age instilled in me a belief that our surroundings can have a profound influence on how we feel.

Over the last decade, I’ve sought out places and practices that invite presence, intentionality, and connection. Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in particular, are destinations where I engage in practices that feel centering alongside experts and lifelong practitioners who also value slowing down, attunement, and mental health. I bring this understanding of the relationship between our bodies, our environments, and our mental health into my work in NYC.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked in research, academia, and education as well as business and entrepreneurship. In these spaces, I spent much of my time studying human behavior, psychology, and what leads people to see change in their lives. Driven by the desire to arm people with therapeutic tools to improve their lives and relationships, I earned a Master of Science in Education (MSEd) in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College and completed a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion from American University, with concentrations in Psychology and Business. I’m currently receiving my 200-hour breathwork certification through ReWild Breathwork. Starting in January 2027, I will begin facilitating Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions and bringing more functional breath practices into my psychotherapy work.

Outside of work, you can usually find me rock climbing (most recently deep-water soloed at the Porto Cristo crag in Mallorca), practicing vinyasa, or biking around Brooklyn—activities that help me feel grounded and energized. On the weekends, my husband and I enjoy walking our dog, heading upstate to hike, and spending time with friends and family.
