Virtual Couples Therapy • Connecticut
Couples Therapy for Darien Residents
Private couples therapy from the privacy of your own home
Understanding Darien Couples
Darien puts people on the New Haven Line before sunrise and brings them home to schools, clubs, and dinner parties where the same faces overlap. When trust breaks, that closeness stops feeling like comfort and starts to feel like exposure.
The Darien couples who call are often two careers deep, with a main-line schedule that takes both ends of the day. An affair, a hidden account, or a long lie has to be faced in a conversation the rest of town cannot hear.
I will not ask you to sit where a neighbor or another school parent might be sitting. This practice has no lobby, and you join by video from a room you choose, and I am not someone your club will run into.
Specialized Services for Darien Couples
I only work with couples, and that is the whole practice, so here is where I can help with the relationship in front of you.
General Couples Therapy
You keep having the same argument, and by now you could recite your partner's part, so we look at why you end up there and what each of you contributes.
Learn More →Infidelity Recovery
An affair can leave you questioning more than fidelity, and we address the betrayal directly, including the responsibility of the person who chose it.
Learn More →Intimacy & Sex Therapy
Feeling unwanted hurts, and so does feeling pressured or misunderstood, so we make room for an honest conversation about your sexual relationship.
Learn More →Neurodiverse Couples
When autism or ADHD is part of the relationship, advice that ignores that difference can leave both of you more frustrated, and I am a Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist (AANE).
Learn More →Maintenance Therapy
You do not have to wait until you are wondering whether the relationship will survive, because starting while you still like each other is a reasonable decision.

Complete Privacy
There is no waiting room and no chance of running into a neighbor, a colleague, or a friend, because you meet from your own home.
Schedule Flexibility
Evening and weekend appointments are available, and because I keep a small caseload I can usually move a session when something urgent comes up between meetings. If you or your partner are in crisis or unsafe, call or text 988, or call 911.
Expert-Level Care
I only see couples, I have done this work for more than 20 years, and I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Level 3, Relational Life Therapy, and sex therapy.
No Commute
You can skip the drive and log in from home, a hotel room, or any place where you can close the door, as long as you are physically in a state where I am licensed.
The Investment
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if you have questions about HSA, FSA or your plan, and the consultation is 30 minutes and $100, applied toward your first session, and I refund that fee if I am not the right fit.

Rebuilding After Trust Breaks
A small town is a hard place to fall apart in private
The main line makes the workday possible and the evening short, and people know which train you catch and which field your child plays on. After an affair, that density is exhausting, because you need a place to tell the truth where your life is not also on display.
I sit with couples in the raw weeks and in the long stretch after them, whether you are deciding whether any repair is honest or you have already chosen to stay and cannot figure out how to look at each other. Both can begin, and the work can be about your actual life without Darien sitting in the room.
The path I use for infidelity recovery
The work has a sequence: first we steady the days so nobody is white-knuckling every hour, then we look carefully at what was already thin in the relationship before the betrayal, and then we talk about what rebuilding trust would require in practice. I will not rush that middle part, and I will not skip it because it is uncomfortable.
Emotionally Focused Therapy is the method I rely on, Gottman Method Level 3 sits beside it when you need a sturdier way to speak, and I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy. The person who chose the affair has a responsibility we will name, and you may still have a contribution to the pattern that was already there.

Fees, insurers, and where I am licensed
You pay $750 for each 90-minute session, and I do not accept insurance, though I can give you a superbill. A 30-minute consultation at $100 comes first, that fee comes off the first session if you proceed, and I refund it if I am not the right fit, because couples are the only people I see.
I am licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, so each of you must be physically in one of those four states while we meet on Zoom, and joining from an office in New York is not allowed.
Nowhere to Be Seen Arriving
Video, because the social circle is tight
You will not cross a neighbor, a school parent, or a club member in a lobby of mine, because I do not have one. Log in from home, and if home is not private, a parked car on your own street is a reasonable backup. There is no local suite with my name on it.

Common Questions from Darien Couples
Do we have to recount the whole affair in the first conversation?
No. That first conversation is for safety, for a workable picture of what you are facing, and for a decision about fit, so graphic detail can wait until you are steadier. The consultation is 30 minutes and $100, credited toward the first full session if you continue, and I refund it if I am not the right fit.
Can therapy stay unknown to other people in town?
I will not be the leak, and I do not live in your circles, and I do not attend your events, and there is no clipboard on a local door. I do not accept insurance, so nothing about the work goes through a health plan. You still choose who you tell.
One of us wants to leave and the other does not. Can we still start?
Yes. That split is often why people call: some couples rebuild, and some separate with more clarity and less cruelty. I do not arrive with a preferred ending, and I will not talk you into one, and you do not have to pretend you are certain in order to begin.

A Therapist From Outside Darien
Darien is a small world, and I am not in it: I do not live in Darien, I am not at your events, and I do not know your friends. We meet on a private video call, and the work stays in that conversation, which for many couples is what makes an honest conversation possible.
Request a Private Consultation
A $100 consultation is applied toward your first session, and I refund the fee if I am not the right fit.
