You retain full responsibility for all decisions and actions taken before, during, and after our work together. Clear communication about your needs is essential. Please share your needs promptly when something isn’t serving you so we can make adjustments to provide the best possible care.
I take your privacy seriously and maintain strict confidentiality. However, I’m professionally obligated to breach confidentiality if you express immediate intent to harm yourself or others, or if you disclose neglect of someone in your care. In such cases, I’ll work to ensure everyone’s safety, which may include connecting you with crisis resources.
If you’re experiencing a crisis, please reach out to trusted individuals or qualified organizations immediately. In the US, call the 211 hotline.
