Hi! I recently relocated to Ridgefield, CT after working for nearly 20 years with kids from kindergarten to college while living in Los Angeles. I became a therapist after working in college admissions and watching amazing students struggle with their mental health. Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism takes so much energy to manage - for kids and the entire family. Imagine if all of that energy and effort was redirected towards school, hobbies, sports, friends, and family time!

Anxiety, depression, self-criticism, perfectionism, codependency, trauma and other mental health challenges can restrict us from reaching our goals, having meaningful relationships and fully living. These challenges are also accompanied with symptoms that can be problematic, difficult to manage, painful and even debilitating. Yet personal development, whether practiced independently or in the therapeutic setting, can feel daunting and unproductive. People are often at a loss on how to improve their lives. This can lead to dissatisfaction, frustration and despair. This is where I can offer you a different experience.

You put in a lot of effort to find fulfillment at work and in your relationships. You are wondering why it doesn't feel like enough and try even harder. You worry that the hard things that have happened to you in the past might always hold you back. Uncomfortable emotions crop up and last too long: anxiety, sadness, hurt, shame and anger. It can be overwhelming. You feel less energized and less creative. Maybe you blame yourself or others. Sometimes you might make unhealthy choices, followed by regret. You are ready to do the work to make things better, to go below the surface because, in your heart, you know you deserve more.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
