Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 27, 2025
Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect information when you visit my website. Please note that this policy applies only to the information collected through this website and not to the information shared during therapy sessions, which is protected under federal and California state confidentiality laws, as well as HIPAA regulations.

Improve website performance and content.
Communicate with you if you have requested contact.
I will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
