VIRTUAL THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN NEW YORK
Let’s look at the story you’ve been telling yourself, and decide what the next chapter says.
Helping women navigate anxiety, life transitions, and singleness with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.
It’s easy to believe you’re the problem.
You’ve always been someone who wants to understand yourself. You’re drawn to personal growth, you’ve spent time reflecting, and maybe you’ve even been to therapy before. When something feels off, your instinct isn’t to ignore it — it’s to figure it out.
But lately, no amount of insight seems to quiet the questions. The routines that once helped you feel grounded don’t have the same effect. You find yourself second-guessing decisions that used to come naturally, wondering why everything suddenly feels like it takes so much more effort.
Maybe you’ve achieved the goals you spent years working toward, only to feel strangely disconnected once you got there. Or perhaps you’re beginning to question the expectations you’ve carried for much of your life — about achievement, family, relationships, and the kind of woman you’re supposed to be.
After a while, it’s easy to wonder if the common denominator is… you.
You might find yourself…
Sitting in your car after work, unable to make yourself go in the house because you need five more minutes where no one needs anything from you.
1.
Lying awake at night replaying the last conversation you had with your ex even though you’ve been broken up for months, wondering what you could have done differently.
2.
Wondering whether you’re making decisions based on what you want or what you’ve always believed you were supposed to want.
3.
Saying “yes” to yet another favor because it’s easier than disappointing someone, then resenting how little time or energy you have left for yourself.
4.
Adjusting to a version of life you didn’t necessarily plan for, whether you’ve been single for years, recently ended a relationship, or are figuring out who you are after a separation or divorce.
5.
Waiting for life to “finally begin,” while worrying that it’s already happening without you.

HI, I’M SHAWN.
I don’t believe your struggles exist in a vacuum.
Change has a way of asking us new questions about ourselves. Sometimes it comes with a breakup, a move, or a career shift. Other times, it’s harder to pinpoint. You simply realize you’re responding to life differently than you used to, and you can’t quite explain why.
One of my favorite parts of this work is helping people make sense of experiences that have felt confusing or difficult to put into words. Instead of stopping at, “What’s wrong with me?” we’ll explore the bigger picture together: your relationships, your family, your culture, the expectations you’ve carried, and the stories you’ve learned about who you’re supposed to be.
As those pieces begin to come into focus, something tends to shift. You start to see that your struggles don’t exist in isolation, and that can make room for both greater self-understanding and greater self-compassion. Not everything is yours to carry, and not everything is yours to fix.
Together, we’ll examine the patterns that have shaped your life, better understand the role they’ve played, and decide what still belongs as you move forward.
MY SPECIALTIES
Every story is different.
Here’s where we can begin.
-
Whether you’re navigating a big life change or simply feeling not quite like yourself, anxiety can make it difficult to trust your own thoughts and decisions. We’ll make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface so you can move through change with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
-
Singleness can bring freedom, fulfillment, grief, uncertainty, and countless questions about the future. Therapy offers you the space to untangle the expectations you’ve carried, reconnect with what matters most to you, and build a life that feels aligned with your own values – and not someone else’s.
-
The stories we tell ourselves shape how we see our relationships, our choices, and our future. A narrative approach helps you step back from limiting beliefs, understand how they’ve been shaped, and begin writing a new chapter that reflects who you are today, and not just who you’ve been told to be.
HOW to GET STARTED
01
Step one
Reach out to schedule a free consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and see whether we’re the right fit for one another.
02
step two
If we decide to move forward together, we’ll schedule your first session and simply start where you are. We’ll get to know each other, explore what’s on your mind, and begin making sense of it together.
03
Step three
As our work continues, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, feel more grounded in your decisions, and develop the confidence to navigate life’s challenges in ways that feel true to who you are.
A different perspective can change everything.
