Nurse Practitioner and Sober Coach

I specialize in women's holistic mental health and sober coaching.  I am a board certified nurse practitioner,  "Gray Area Drinking" and recovery coach, Ayurveda lifestyle counselor, certified yoga teacher, dancer, and mother of two young boys. I enjoy teaching yoga and dance, and moderating Women for Sobriety meetings.  As a working mother and woman in long term recovery, I know the challenges women face in these sensitive areas of life.

 My path in healthcare started in 1998 as a medical assistant at a women’s clinic, and I became a Registered Nurse in 2002, working in perinatal services.  In 2008, I earned her Master’s Degree in Science of Nursing and became board certified as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse/nurse practitioner. I have worked in adult internal medicine,  reproductive endocrinology, OB/GYN, and worked in peri-operative services at Yale New Haven Hospital until opening my practice in 2015. I continue to work in adult internal medicine part time.  

I enrich my professional and personal practice with studies in Ayurveda, Yoga of Recovery, Heart Based Meditation, mental health nutrition, functional medicine and psychopharmacology.
