Who This Is For

Many of the people I see have been in therapy before. It helped. They learned some tools and understood themselves better. And they still feel anxious, depressed, or far from themselves.

Often they can explain their patterns clearly, but they can't change how they feel. That gap between knowing and feeling is where I like to work.

What We Work On

  • Insight without change

    You know why you do it, and you still do it.

  • Coping without relief

    The breathing exercises work for a while, then the old feeling returns.

  • Understood on paper

    Leaving sessions understood in theory but not in your body.

  • Old patterns

    The same issues showing up across jobs, relationships, and years.

How My Approach Is Different

Talk therapy works with what you can say. I add what you can feel. In Hakomi and somatic work, we pay attention to what happens in your body as you talk, which can reach the part of you that insight alone missed.

I also want to answer a worry people bring: "I'm committing myself to years of therapy." Clients often start weekly and then move to every other week. I want people to know we're not talking about years of therapy, and we review together how the work is going.

What Sessions Look Like

  1. Tell me what helped

    On the free 20 minute call, I'll ask what worked in past therapy and what didn't.

  2. Regular sessions

    55 minutes, weekly or every two weeks, in Rhinebeck, Hudson, or by telehealth in New York.

  3. Honest check ins

    We talk openly about how the work is going and whether it is moving.

What Can Shift

What I am working toward is the move from understanding yourself to feeling like yourself. Recreation of the Self is one approach I draw on. The sentence I listen for is simple.

"It's good to be me."

Rates in Brief

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

Questions People Ask

How long will this take?

Clients often start weekly and then move to every other week. I want people to know we're not talking about years of therapy, and we review together how the work is going.

Do I need to tell you all about my past therapy?

Only what feels useful. A general sense of what helped and what didn't is enough to start.

What if I'm skeptical of therapy now?

Skepticism is welcome. Bring it to the first phone call and ask me anything.
