Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to me. This policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website.

Information Collection

This site collects limited personal information you voluntarily provide—such as your name, phone number, or email—when you complete a contact form. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry or provide requested information.

Cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve your browsing experience. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

HIPAA-Compliant Client Portal

This website includes a link to a secure client portal, hosted by SimplePractice, which is a HIPAA-compliant platform. Through this portal, you can schedule appointments, complete forms, send secure messages, and access telehealth services. All data transmitted through the portal is encrypted and protected in accordance with federal privacy laws.

I recommend using the portal for all clinical and sensitive communication rather than email or the website contact form.

Confidentiality & HIPAA

As a mental health professional, I comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All personal health information (PHI) shared in therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions as required by law. A full Notice of Privacy Practices is available upon request or within the client portal.

Security Notice

Please do not submit sensitive personal or medical information through the website’s general contact form or email, as these methods are not encrypted. The client portal is the safest way to communicate.

Your Rights

You may request to review, correct, or delete the personal information I have about you, as permitted by law.

Policy Updates

This privacy policy may be updated without notice. Please review this page periodically for the most current version.
