Online Therapy for Adults in Ridgefield

Good care should not depend on how far you live from an office.

Ridgefield's hills and back roads are part of its appeal, and part of what makes weekly appointments hard to reach. Secure video brings experienced therapy to your home.

More room, longer drives

Ridgefield sits in the more rural, hilly northern part of Fairfield County, near the New York state line. Many people love the space, the historic center and the quiet. The tradeoff is distance: getting to appointments often means winding roads and a longer drive than in the shoreline towns.

For therapy, that distance matters. When each session requires an extra hour of travel, it becomes easy to cancel when the week gets busy, and progress tends to stall. Meeting by secure video removes that barrier.

I do not have an office in Ridgefield. Every session is by secure video, and you need to be physically in Connecticut, New York or Massachusetts during each one. Because I am licensed in New York as well, living close to the state line is not a problem.

Isolation and change

Space and quiet can be restorative. They can also leave people feeling isolated, especially after a move, a retirement, a loss or a change in health. Low mood can settle in slowly when the days lose their structure and there are fewer natural chances to see people.

Others in Ridgefield commute long distances and find that the time on the road cuts into sleep, exercise and connection. Stress and burnout can build without anyone noticing, including you.

We can look at what has shifted and what you need now, and then decide on steps that fit the way you actually live.

If mood has been low for weeks, that is a good reason to reach out. You do not need to wait for it to get worse.

When a health change shifts everything

A diagnosis, a surgery or a chronic condition can change more than your body. It can affect your independence, your work, your relationships and your sense of who you are. Some people feel angry or frightened. Others feel numb, or worry about burdening the people around them.

I have a particular understanding of how physical health and illness affect emotional well-being. We can make room for the feelings that come with a health change and also work on practical questions, such as how to talk with family, how to pace your energy and how to keep doing what matters to you.

Telehealth can be especially useful during recovery or when driving is difficult, since you can meet from home.

How I work

My style is warm and direct. We name the problem clearly, connect it to your daily life and practice responses that fit your priorities. I draw from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, DBT skills and solution-focused therapy, depending on your goals.

I have more than 30 years in behavioral health, including leading mental health and addiction programs in hospital and state systems, and I have been in private practice since 2014. I work with individual adults only.

Insurance and the first step

I am in network with most major insurance plans and a participating provider in the MultiPlan network. Superbills are available for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and private-pay fees are discussed before the first session.

Common Questions

Questions People Ask

My internet in Ridgefield is sometimes unreliable. What happens if the call drops?

We reconnect if we can. It helps to test your connection before the session and to sit close to your router. If video keeps failing, we will talk about the best way to proceed.

I live near the New York line. Does that matter?

Not for therapy with me. I am licensed in both Connecticut and New York, so you can join from either side of the line, as long as you are in a private place.

Do you work with depression that has come on slowly?

Yes. Gradual changes in mood, energy and interest are common reasons people start therapy. We can look at what is contributing and choose realistic steps.
