I grew up in Northern New Jersey. As an adult, I eventually settled in NYC, where I lived for 22 years, established myself personally and professionally, and intended to stay for the rest of my life. But life had other plans! In 2022, I moved to northern Westchester and eventually relocated my clinic, Thrive Acupuncture & Wellness, to Chappaqua. And I couldn’t be happier to be here.

 

My journey has been anything but linear. I began on a traditional path, doing what I was “supposed to do, " which just felt wrong. So, I took a leap, followed my heart, and embraced the unknown. My work today is a passion-driven pursuit that intertwines personal and professional aspects. It’s all about relationships, healing, and human connection—an ever-evolving exploration I don’t think I’ll ever be finished with.

Thrive was born out of my own transformative experience with acupuncture. I was 30 years old, living in Brooklyn, and unfulfilled by my career path, I knew I had to change course. A series of serendipitous events eventually led me to an acupuncture school, where I had my first treatment. At the time, I had a shoulder injury that I thought I’d have for the rest of my life, but after several acupuncture treatments, it was almost fully healed. My curiosity was sparked! I threw myself into a rigorous five-year graduate program to earn my master’s and doctorate degrees, opening Thrive Acupuncture & Wellness in 2011.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are unique in that they are holistic, focusing on the whole person rather than isolated systems or symptoms. They tap into the body’s natural ability to heal, so results are long-lasting. I’ve seen miraculous outcomes with the most complicated conditions. Unlike medication, most side effects—such as improved sleep, digestion, and stress levels—are positive.

 

When I designed my clinic, I decided to make the patient experience everything I wish all healthcare encounters could be. I spend a lot of time listening, asking questions, getting to know you, and digging deep to get to the root of the problem. I don’t rush. The parameters of traditional medical institutions do not limit me, and I am happy to collaborate with your healthcare providers. We set your goals together, and I create a customized treatment plan for you.

 

If you’ve been struggling with health challenges and don’t know where to turn, give acupuncture a try!  We are so often people's last resort with the best results. And most importantly, do not underestimate your own power to heal!

 

When I’m not working, I’m happiest outdoors exploring the trails and natural beauty of Northern Westchester. I love cooking, entertaining, spending time with friends and family, spoiling my niece and nephew, laughing, learning, and connecting with others. I practice yoga and meditation, enjoy Pilates and movement, and love adventure travel. I have a deep appreciation for art, music, and performance, and I am constantly seeking to balance the act of doing with simply being.

I am incredibly grateful for the warm welcome I received in Chappaqua. This community's kindness and support mean the world to me. Thank you for trusting me with your healing. I look forward to many more years of growth, sharing, and connection.
