about me
My official title is acupuncturist, but the work I do reaches far beyond needles.
In terms of acupuncture, I specialize in fertility, facial acupuncture, migraines, perimenopause, and nervous system repair, with a special focus on high-functioning neurodivergence.
Lately I’ve been facilitating groups: acupuncture book clubs, Face Forward Gua Sha Circles, Sound Baths. I’ve also started a Substack called Seeing Patriarchy/Seeding Matriarchy where I’ll publish essays every other week in 2026 through my Proof of Life® lens.
But what I really do is help people return to themselves in a world that constantly pulls them out.
My sessions often begin with physical symptoms and end with people saying things like, “I’ve never thought about my life in that way.” That’s when I know something’s working: when the body speaks, the story can shift.
the paper trail
I earned my Master’s in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science in 2014 and have practiced full-time in Westchester since 2016. I originally opened under the name Acupuncture of Tarrytown, before evolving into Well Collab Acupuncture — a fuller expression of my collaborative work.
Before acupuncture, I studied Creative Writing and Gender Studies at the University of San Diego, followed by a post-baccalaureate in Psychology at Rutgers. I’m currently enrolled in a two year seminar at HAGIA, the International Academy for Modern Matriarchal Studies and Matriarchal Spirituality.
the real life trail
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s and autism in my early 40s.
These revelations continue to unravel a lifetime of masking and rewrite the way I approach healing. I now support neurodivergent clients (diagnosed or not) in reclaiming their rhythm, reframing their brilliance, and embodying what makes them different.
When you spend a lifetime thinking you’re wrong at your core, there is work in showing people the way to seeing for themselves how good they really are.
I believe a regulated neurodivergent nervous system can change a family, a lineage, and a world.
And I don’t just think that’s possible; I think it’s necessary.
