Who This Is For

Hudson is one of the two places I see clients in person. The other is Rhinebeck, a little to the south, and I also meet with adults anywhere in New York State by telehealth. If you live in Hudson or elsewhere in Columbia County, having sessions nearby can make it easier to keep showing up week after week.

Columbia County is full of people who make things: painters, writers, musicians, makers, and people building small businesses of their own. Many of the people who find me are artists or entrepreneurs, and they often arrive saying the same thing. "I can't turn my brain off."

What People Bring In

  • Anxiety and stress

    A mind that keeps running long after the workday, or the studio day, is over.

  • Depression

    Feeling flat or far away from yourself, even when life around you looks full.

  • Work that won't settle

    Building a business or a creative practice while worry keeps setting the pace.

  • Drinking and recovery

    Questions about drinking or other habits, and support for staying in recovery.

How I Work in Hudson

There is something useful about leaving the house or the studio, making the trip in, and having an hour that belongs only to you. Sessions are 55 minutes of Hakomi, somatic, and psychodynamic therapy. We talk, and we also slow down enough to notice what your body does while you talk, the tight shoulders or held breath that often say more than words.

Underneath it all is an idea I hold to. The Self you were born with was never damaged. Life pulled you away from it. Our work is finding the way back, so you feel more present and more creative in the life you are living here in the valley.

What Can Shift

Whether you have lived in Columbia County your whole life or came up the river more recently, what I hope for is the same: that you feel unforced and present, and like the author of your own life. I listen for one sentence in particular.

If you are in Hudson and curious, a free 20 minute phone consultation is a low pressure way to find out more.

"It's good to be me."

No. You are welcome wherever you live in the area, and I also see adults anywhere in New York State by telehealth.

Yes. Many of the people who find me make things for a living, and we can talk on the free call about what that pressure is like for you.
