My Story

I came to this work after embarking on my own healing path. In my teens and early twenties, I struggled with hormonal health symptoms and anxiety and was unable to find any answers or relief in Western medicine or traditional talk therapy.

It was only after meeting an Ayurvedic practitioner, learning about holistic health, and making changes to my diet and lifestyle that my symptoms, both physiologically and psychologically, started to improve. I learned what every young woman should (but hardly ever does)—how to manage and reduce stress to protect my hormones and care for my amazing cycling body!

As a psychotherapist, I view lifestyle and nutrition as essential foundations of psychological health and integrate this into my work wherever I can. I am also trained in Reiki and yoga and have studied Eastern philosophies such as Hinduism and Taoism. As such, I view spirituality and trust in the Universe and in life force energy (also known as prana or chi) as integral to the healing process.

I hold a Master’s degree in clinical social work from NYU and have been in the mental health and healing field for over ten years. I have specialized training in trauma, EMDR, psychoanalysis, and addiction. In addition to these specialities I’m interested in the intersection of women’s hormonal health and psychology and hold a certificate in Women’s Hormone Health from the Institute for Menstrual Health.
