I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist, yoga teacher, and certified intuitive eating counselor. I combine an integrative approach to psychotherapy where the mind-body connection is central. I aim to empower my patients to achieve self-trust, heal from trauma, and build a healthy relationship with food and their bodies through personalized and compassionate care. I am Health at Every Size aligned.
