BUT FIRST...

Let's Get One Thing Straight.


I’m not here to give you a list of habits to check off or tell you to hustle harder in pursuit of your dreams.

Because I know that becoming the person you want to be isn’t always about doing more—it’s about doing what truly matters. It’s about working toward the things that mean the most to you, while still making space for joy, rest, and being present in your life. It’s about finding the balance between ambition and ease, knowing when to lean into the energy of consistency and discipline, versus when to step back, reflect, and recharge.

I believe you can reach the goals that matter most to you without losing yourself in the process.

I believe that you don’t have to choose between success and well-being—you can have both.

I believe that creating the life you want isn’t just about checking off achievements; it’s about becoming a person who can live fully in the moments of both progress and stillness— someone who doesn’t just do more, but is more aligned with their values and purpose.

LONG STORY SHORT?

How We Got Here...


In fall of 2019, I was doing it all.

By day, I was a teacher at a small Montessori-based school. In the evenings, I was commuting into New York City to finish my Master’s degree from Columbia University in Clinical Psychology. And I spent my weekends completing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, and once certified, teaching yoga classes for adults, families, and children. And somehow, in the in-between moments, I was squeezing in my other passions—practicing piano and guitar, tutoring to build up my savings, staying committed to my own personal yoga practice, studying entrepreneurship, and working on my little side project, The Simply Well.

In many ways, things were “working.” My days were scheduled down to the minute, my calendar was color-coded to perfection, and I was making progress in every direction. If overbooking yourself was an Olympic sport, I’d be up there on the podium, matcha in hand, accepting my gold medal.

The problem? I was running on empty.

While I’d always considered myself a driven person, and a proud, self-identified multi-passionate, I was stretched too thin. I was constantly doing more but never feeling like it was enough. I was trying to be everything all at once, and instead of feeling fulfilled, I was overwhelmed and disconnected from the joy that these passions should have brought me.

The truth was, I knew I couldn’t keep chasing everything without losing something. I knew that doing more wasn’t the answer. What I needed was to do things differently—in a way that didn’t force me to give up the goals, hobbies, and passions I loved, but that allowed me to pursue them without burning out.

That’s why today, I focus on helping people like me—driven, goal-oriented individuals with a passion for growth—find a way to pursue their ambitions with more ease.

Leveraging my experience in education and clinical psychology, I apply research-backed insights from psychology, neuroscience, and educational theory to help you in focus your energy where it matters most. Together, we’ll craft personalized strategies that fit your unique life, so that you can reach your goals and become the person you want to be, while also honoring your core values, being a force for good in the world, and making room for joy, self-care, and rest along the way.

— Client Love —


"You do a lovely job of meeting clients where they are at, guiding clients along vs. pushing or telling them 'how' to walk the path, and you make sure we are the ones to determine the path (which is HUGE). You are authentic and genuinely care— I can tell that this gift of yours is what you were created to do and share with others. You are well researched, use language that is accessible and approach our time together with strategy, energy and an overall desire to help in personal growth needs. I will always remember our time together as a time when I remembered that I can still dream.... still grow... still want to explore creative personal growth opportunities for myself, family and business."
