Therapists in New York, NY

Are you in the midst of a life transition-divorce, illness or loss? Are you a parent who wants to protect your child from the fallout of divorce? Do you have a child with special needs that is a challenge to parent? Are you looking to break out of a longstanding pattern of behavior that doesn't serve you well? Are you in a relationship that is painful and you don't know if it can be healed? Are you struggling with issues of infertility or thinking about adoption? Facing these issues and challenges can be daunting. I work with individuals to help them connect to their own capacity for transformation and growth. With the help of therapy people can develop tools and discover resilience that they can use now and in the future to overcome challenges that stand in the way of satisfaction, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.

As a Narrative Life Coach, I want to help clients unlock the themes and patterns of their lives by asking probing questions and helping them work towards their next chapters. I offer weekly optional writing exercises and readings to support this journey. Narrative Coaching works well with anyone going through a painful loss or rejection, such as a death, break-up or divorce, as well as anyone who desires change but feels stuck or struggling. I'd like to help clients to realize their potentials by exploring possibilities, expanding their thinking and re-writing their narrative.

Have you been impacted by loss due to Covid 19? Is isolation and social distancing causing you loneliness, anxiety or conflict in your family? Grief and mourning are being experienced as never before. Our traditional ways of coping - through the participation in rituals and communal gatherings, the hugs of loved ones and being with family - have been upended. The reality of not being able to be with loved ones, especially those who are ill or dying is traumatic. We are also having to negotiate with our family in new ways. I can help you find a path through these challenges.

Psychotherapy offers an opportunity for getting more of what you want from life. Whether you are considering psychotherapy for the first time or returning after time away, I commend you for taking this step toward self-growth.

Some issues people bring to treatment include: facing problematic patterns in life and work, loneliness and low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma, divorce and separation, depression and anxiety, difficulty meeting goals.

I get it, all the fears, but more importantly, the hope. Get support from a qualified, experienced professional and gain the confidence and ability to handle the complex decisions in your life.

I'm a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Tribeca, New York City. I was born and raised in Scotland, and have a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Glasgow. I came to New York City on a Fulbright Scholarship Grant and studied at Bellevue Hospital and NYU-Medical Center. I then completed the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at the Contemporary Freudian Society. Presently I am at the NYU Post-Doctoral Program for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I use Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, particularly Relational Psychotherapy, and I specialize in work with adults with anxiety, depression, loss, and relationship issues.

I have been in private practice for 25+ years working with high-achieving adults to help them improve relationships, manage stress, and realize potential. Common struggles include anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, and career progress. So whether you're looking for support or guidance through a particularly difficult time, or you're open to a real change in your life, together, we can work to achieve your dreams. My background includes a Wharton MBA, and I have experience with many successful professionals of diverse backgrounds working in finance and healthcare.

Without our realizing it we repeat behavior that can make our lives such a puzzle to us and those around us. It hurts, and we feel stuck. Underlying issues really do influence what we do and how we feel. And these days reality can be overwhelming.

It takes courage to tell your story, be vulnerable, and practice introspection. But as the old saying goes, “a problem shared is a problem halved.” Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, family, career, health, or questioning your life path, we’ll work together to find a solution. I’m a Counselor and Life Coach who supports people during life transitions—including marriage, divorce, career changes, motherhood, and grief and loss. Whatever you’re going through, I’ll be a compassionate listener who reframes the situation and so you can see it in a different, more positive, light.

Are you in transition and wondering: What's next and how do I get there? Have you experienced a loss (of normalcy, predictability, health, job, relationship)? Are you stuck, languishing in the liminal, in between place? Are you curious, willing to change and have an open mind and willingness to work collaboratively to identify and achieve future goals? Would you like to move from "now what?" to "know what!"? If so, let's talk.

I have dedicated my life to understanding our collective human experience; and each individual's unique perspective. I recognize that the individual brings to therapy a host of experiences and the dynamic influence between culture and environment. Oftentimes, restlessness and crisis are generally the precipitants for people seeking help. Relationships: marriage, break-ups/divorce; grief & loss; mental/medical health issues; and career/life transitions may be some of the experiences influencing your decision to begin therapy. It takes courage to acknowledge that there is a problem and even greater courage to seek intervention.
