Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and used through this website.

Information Collected Through This Website

This website uses a contact form to collect limited personal information that you choose to share, such as your name, email address, and details related to your inquiry. This information is collected solely for the purpose of responding to your message, answering questions, scheduling consultations or sessions, and determining whether my services may be an appropriate fit for your needs.

Please be aware that electronic communication, including contact forms and email, may not be fully secure. For this reason, I encourage you to avoid sharing sensitive, confidential, or urgent information through this website.

This website may also collect limited, non-identifying information such as browser type, device type, or general usage data in order to improve website performance and functionality. This information does not personally identify you.

Information submitted through this website is used only for purposes related to therapy services, scheduling, or responding to inquiries. I do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Submitting information through this website does not establish a therapeutic relationship. A formal therapeutic relationship is established only after informed consent documents are completed and therapy services have begun.

Confidentiality and HIPAA

As a licensed mental health provider, I comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which governs the privacy and security of protected health information once a formal therapeutic relationship has been established.

Communication through this website and by email is not a secure or encrypted system. Please avoid sharing sensitive or clinical information electronically.

Telehealth and Location Requirements

Therapy services are provided only to clients who are physically located in the state of California at the time of sessions, in accordance with licensure laws.

Links to Other Websites

This website may contain links to other websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be reflected on this page.

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you may contact me through the information provided on this website.

This website and contact form are not intended for use in emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
