I provide psychotherapy and related services within the scope of my training and licensure. While therapy can be deeply supportive, it is not a substitute for medical care. I may recommend additional resources or referrals when appropriate.

Sessions begin and end at their scheduled times, even if you arrive late. Arriving on time ensures you receive the full benefit of our work together.
Communication Between Sessions:
Email may be used for scheduling or brief logistical questions only. Clinical matters should be addressed in session. I do not provide therapy via text or social media.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and either party may decide to end services. I may recommend ending or transferring care if therapy is no longer clinically appropriate or if you require services outside my scope of expertise.
Record Keeping:
I maintain records of our sessions in accordance with professional and legal standards. You may request a copy of your records in writing, subject to applicable laws.
