SERVICES & CLASSES
An effective combination of evidence-based behavioral science and psychology combined with wisdom and practices from meditation and yogic principles; all of which aid you in creating, and sustaining, positive behavioral changes in your personal and work life. My background as a mental health professional (MSW, LCSW) combined with my long-time practice of yoga and meditation- as both a practitioner and teacher-allows me to offer you strategies that will, with time and implementation, cultivate enduring skills and positive behavior changes. In addition to individual and group skills-based coaching, I offer private yoga classes.
