Mental Health & Wellness Coaches

Welcome to my profile! With a Master's in Public Health from NYU and certification as a Holistic Nutrition Health Coach, I am passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their wellness goals through personalized strategies. My experience spans from creating holistic health programs for medical students at The Arnold P. Gold Foundation to mentoring high school students as an EMT with the Tenafly Volunteer Ambulance Corps. I have also led health education initiatives at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, focusing on substance use education, wellness throughout life, and professional development. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve your health, or develop a sustainable wellness routine, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to create a plan that fits your unique needs!

A big part of why I coach in this space is because I’ve lived it. I’ve gone through seasons where stress, pressure, and expectations were stacked on top of each other, and I didn’t know how to slow down. I’ve dealt with anxiety, burnout, and moments where life felt heavier than I wanted to admit. Learning how to navigate those moments, rebuild myself, and come out stronger became one of the most important parts of my growth. On the professional side, I’ve spent over a decade leading large teams in high pressure environments where mental wellness is often ignored until it becomes a problem. I’ve coached leaders through self doubt, impostor syndrome, tough transitions, and the emotional weight that comes with managing people. I’ve learned how mindset, clarity, and emotional awareness directly shape performance, relationships, and long term success. I’m also a certified leadership coach with a degree in Leadership Studies and now working toward my master’s in Organizational Development. My academic work and coaching certifications back up what I’ve lived and practiced for years. My approach is simple: help people create calm, stay grounded, communicate with courage, and build habits that support a healthier way of leading and living. I don’t coach from theory alone. I coach from experience, education, and real conversations with real people who want to grow without losing themselves. If you’re looking for someone who understands both the personal and professional sides of mental wellness, that’s where I can help.Do you like this personality?

Welcome to my profile! With a Master of Science in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting from NYU and as an ICF ACC certified coach, I bring a wealth of experience in mental health and wellness coaching. At Novo Nordisk, I designed and launched a successful Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Program, fostering career development and enhancing team engagement.

As a trained Positive Intelligence (PQ) coach, I equip mid-career professionals with practical tools to build mental fitness, quiet inner critics/saboteurs, and amplify your strengths. My background as a Growth Marketing Lead at Google, where I managed teams and drove significant revenue growth, gives me unique insights into navigating professional challenges. I not just help them achieve their career goals and leadership potential, but also cultivate profound mental wellness.

I work with people who look “fine” on paper but don’t feel fine inside. The ones carrying a lot of responsibility, ambition, and self-awareness, yet still wrestling with anxiety, burnout, identity questions, or a low-grade sense that something is off. I’m not a therapist, and this isn’t clinical treatment. It’s structured, honest coaching for people who want more clarity about how they’re operating and why certain patterns keep repeating. My background spans leadership, coaching, and lived experience with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. That combination shapes how I work: grounded, direct, and practical, without platitudes or forced optimism. Sessions focus on naming what’s actually happening beneath the surface, building emotional awareness without over-intellectualizing it, and helping you make changes that are realistic inside a demanding life—not in some hypothetical calmer future.
