My training includes post-graduate education in traumatic stress, nervous system regulation, lifestyle medicine, interpersonal neurobiology, and meditation-based practices. I’m especially interested in how stress, habits, and thought patterns show up in the body—and how learning to work with the nervous system can change the way we think, decide, and respond under pressure.

Alongside my clinical and coaching work, I’ve spent over a decade in movement-based disciplines, with a focus on yoga and meditation since 2018. That background strongly shapes how I work: practical, body-aware, and oriented toward skills you can actually use—not just ideas to think about.

I hold undergraduate and graduate degrees from New York University and am board certified in health and wellness coaching. I’ve completed additional training through organizations including the Integrative Restoration Institute, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the Polyvagal Institute, the Mindsight Institute, the Mayo Clinic, and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

I’ve also taught and presented on topics such as mental health in integrative care, hospice and end-of-life support, mindfulness as a foundation for resilience, and building emotional and mental “athleticism” in high-demand environments.

At the core, my work is collaborative and grounded. I don’t believe in fixing people or optimizing them into something they’re not. I believe in helping people understand themselves better, take responsibility for their wellbeing, and build a steady internal base they can rely on—especially when life gets demanding.
