Who am I?

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health. While my training is rooted in clinical science, my work centers on real conversations about burnout, boundaries, and how people actually live and work.

Through my company, Three Lemons LLC, I partner with organizations across healthcare, higher education, corporate, nonprofit, and professional services sectors to help teams work in more sustainable, humane, and effective ways. My work has reached international audiences through collaborations with Hoda Kotb, conversations with Selena Gomez, and as a regular SiriusXM radio host—where I translate psychology into insight that is practical, relatable, and useful.

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: helping people and organizations feel better without asking them to do more.

My approach makes sense and works well.

Many well-being initiatives fail because they ask individuals to adapt to unhealthy systems. My work focuses on the opposite: helping organizations design environments that support clarity, boundaries, emotional regulation, and sustainable performance.

I am known for a practical, compassionate, and direct style that respects the realities of modern work. I don’t promote toxic positivity or unrealistic expectations. Instead, I help teams and leaders build habits, norms, and systems that make work feel more humane—and more effective.

This philosophy is the foundation of my Better, Not Busier framework, which teaches that doing better work does not require doing more work.

I partner with organizations and leaders who care deeply about performance and people. This includes corporations, brands, nonprofits, professional services firms, media agencies, women’s leadership organizations, healthcare systems, and universities.

My clients often come to me during periods of growth, transition, or strain—when burnout is rising, leaders feel stretched, and existing approaches are no longer working. Together, we focus on creating clarity, capacity, and sustainability that lasts beyond a single workshop or initiative.
