I am a licensed mental health counselor and yoga instructor with 10 years of experience helping people improve their wellbeing and quality of life through movement, meditation, and counseling. I believe health is more than just the absence of disease: it exists when all domains of one's life are in balance and functioning optimally. I specialize in a holistic approach to attaining that balance, incorporating my training as a psychotherapist with yoga, meditation, sound therapy, and reiki. I have experience working with stress management, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, substance use, self-esteem, grief / loss, and lifestyle behavior change. 

​

Training, certifications, and experience: 

I gained valuable experience and training working as a psychotherapist at NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center, as well as at Bellevue Hospital in NYC. I share my expertise in health behavior change through counseling / coaching, workshops, meditation, and therapeutic yoga groups. In addition, I teach private yoga sessions and group classes throughout New York City.
