Identity and empowerment in our ever-shifting world.
Virtual psychotherapy in NYC and New York State for women who are ready to live on their own terms.
Are you…
feeling anxious in a world that keeps changing beneath your feet?
navigating major life transitions and wondering who you are on the other side of it?
single and quietly tired of a world that treats that as a problem?
carrying a grief that no one around you seems to understand?
feeling the weight of family pressure from deep within your own history?
paralyzed by uncertainty about the future, and exhausted by your own worries?
You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are. You’re capable, self-aware, and resilient. And still, something feels off. You can’t pinpoint exactly when the discontent started, but the things you’ve tried on your own so far just haven’t been enough.
Maybe you’re grieving something you can’t quite name: a relationship, a future you imagined, or a world that feels like it’s slipping away. The ground beneath you feels like it’s shifting as you learn and experience new things. You feel paralyzed, yet deeply desire to be present and active in this life you actually have.
Perhaps all the hats you wear have just become too much of a whirlwind, and everything about day-to-day life feels unrelenting. You don’t feel supported, but you’re also done waiting for the world to tell you when your life can start.
Hi, I’m Shawn. And I fully believe that you deserve to thrive.
I work with creative, insightful women who are navigating grief, anxiety, and major life transitions through the quiet courage it takes to reimagine their lives.
My clients describe therapy with me as warm, open, professional, and even funny at times! We’ll work toward your goals together, and I’ll be your champion as we explore the many facets of your story.
I aim to empower you to build a life that aligns with your values, where you trust your innate ability to navigate whatever uncertainty this world brings next.
Specialties
Anxiety & Life Transitions
When the world shifts beneath you, anxiety has a way of filling every room. Together, we'll untangle the roots of your worry, navigate the transitions redefining your sense of self, and build the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Climate Anxiety
You are not alone in feeling anxious about a warming world and the devastating impacts on our natural systems. Climate-aware therapy addresses your grief, fears, and sense of emotional safety while cultivating self-compassion, social support, and pro-environmental behaviors.
1. Be bold. Reaching out to request an appointment is a really big step. I promise a non-intimidating, non-judgmental conversation so that we can determine if we’re a good fit for each other.
Let’s do this.
2. Be curious. Therapy is a journey deep into your world. Stay curious about yourself – it’ll enable new discoveries toward your transformation.
3. Be self-compassionate. You’re going to experience growing pains through this process. Be kind to yourself, like you would to a good friend.
