Who This Is For

If you live in the city, you already know how little room there is to hear yourself. The train, the inbox, the neighbor's music through the wall. After a while the noise outside starts to match the noise inside, and the habits that used to keep you going stop working.

I don't have an office in New York City. I see people in the city by telehealth, which I offer anywhere in New York State. If you split your time between the city and the Hudson Valley, you can also see me in person in Rhinebeck or Hudson when you are up here.

What We Can Work On

  • A pace that never lets up

    Work that follows you home because home is ten feet from your desk.

  • Racing thoughts

    The late night loop that the city never quite lets you switch off.

  • Building something

    A company or a creative career that your whole sense of yourself seems to ride on.

  • Two lives

    Weekdays in the city, weekends upstate, and a feeling of never fully being in either.

How Telehealth Works With Me

We meet by video for 55 minutes, weekly or every two weeks. People are sometimes surprised that body centered work carries over to a screen, and it does. I'll ask you to slow down and notice what happens in your breath, shoulders, or stomach when something hard comes up, and we follow that together.

All you need is a private spot where you won't be overheard, which in the city can take some planning. A parked car, an office with the door closed, or a bedroom with a fan running can all work.

What Can Shift

New York City has a place in my story. My wife and I were married there in 1982, a few years after I came to the US from Scotland. I know how much the city gives, and how much it can take out of a person.

What I hope for is that you can carry a steadier sense of Self through all of it, the crowded train included.

Rates in Brief

Sessions are $160 for 55 minutes. The first step is a complimentary 20 minute phone consultation.

Questions People Ask

Do you have an office in the city?

No. My offices are in Rhinebeck and Hudson. For clients in New York City, sessions are by telehealth.

Where do I need to be for a telehealth session?

Anywhere in New York State. I'm licensed in New York, so our sessions take place while you are in the state.

What if therapy has helped me before, but only so far?

That is someone I especially like working with. On the phone call, tell me what helped and what didn't.
