I earned my Masters in Social Work from Columbia University, my undergraduate degree from Brandeis University, and completed postgraduate studies at The Training Institute for Mental Health. With a particular interest in the intersection between emotional and physical health, I also hold a personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
