  • HIPAA is an act that protects your health information and ensures you privacy and confidentiality! You can learn more about it HERE.

  • Because I work on a strictly outpatient basis, it is always my recommendation to call a local or national crisis line for assistance if you are in crisis. They can provide you with immediate help and assistance, which I may be unable to provide in the moment.

    The number for The National Mental Health and Suicide Crisis line is 988. You can call or text it anytime day or night, 365 days per year and someone will answer. Their website can be found HERE.

    If you are in immediate danger of harming yourself or someone else, please go to your nearest emergency room and ask for a crisis mental health evaluation. All ERs can make that happen.
