Your privacy matters.

This page offers a brief overview of how privacy and communication are handled through this website. Clients receive more complete privacy, consent, and practice policy documents before beginning therapy.

Website Forms and Email

The contact form on this website may be used to request a consultation or send a general, non-urgent inquiry.

Please keep your message brief and avoid including highly sensitive clinical information. Website forms and email may not be fully secure, and they are not appropriate for emergencies or urgent clinical needs.

I respond to messages during my listed office hours and may not see or respond to messages outside of those times.

Confidentiality in Therapy

Therapy is confidential, with certain legal and ethical limits.

These limits may include situations involving risk of serious harm to yourself or someone else, suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or vulnerable adult, court orders or other legal requirements, and other circumstances required by law or professional ethics.

More detailed information about confidentiality and privacy is provided before beginning therapy.

As a licensed health care provider, I maintain a Notice of Privacy Practices that explains how health information may be used and disclosed, and what rights clients have regarding their health information.

A full Notice of Privacy Practices is provided as part of the intake process and is available upon request.
