Listening and holding space in a nonjudgmental environment
Sometimes listening is enough. I will take time to hear your concerns and health goals. Building a trusting relationship with your healthcare provider is very important to your success, and sometimes it takes several appointments – and that’s okay! Health issues like chronic pain and mental health struggles can be very difficult to talk about; let’s take our time and figure it out together.
Problem solving using shared decision making and gentle accountability – creating a framework for your success
Let’s talk and put a plan together that works for you. I use habit formation strategies and coaching to understand your unique barriers and motivations. I use goal setting to address long term goals and walk them backward into actionable steps, so you know exactly where to start when you leave the office. Say goodbye to long, complicated plans that you feel too overwhelmed to start; simple is safe!
I understand the differences present in neurodivergent folks and how we can work within this framework to move towards better health – whatever that means.Need dim lights and fidget toys to get through our appointments? I got you! Let’s do what works for you.

Outside of work
I am a queer, neurodivergent, polyamorous, female identifying human. I am originally from New York City. My parents are first- and second-generation immigrants who grew up in poverty and worked hard to give me different opportunities. These roots allow me to demonstrate understanding and compassion for those who come from difficult circumstances.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, watching new shows and movies and experiencing new restaurants. I enjoy spending time with my cats and partners and making new friends.
