About My Clients

We serve those looking for healing modalities. People looking to ground into their bodies with somatic therapy or coping techniques such as breathe work.

My Background and Approach

My training is rooted in home hospice. I sat at the bedside with caregivers and patients. Since then, I have added clinical modalities to my lived experience: I have an advanced certification in grief counseling, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and am a Fellow in Thanatology - the study of dying, death and bereavement. My approach is evidence based practice meets compassion. I have a clinical skillset and attune with my clients from a human place.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In 2011 I took the Buddhist Refuge vow and often share an eastern perspective with my clients. I am a career changer. I graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in Film Production and worked in the industry for 10 years. Recently, I participated in Mental Health panels for DocNYC- discussing mental health with documentary filmmakers.
