Emergency and Crisis Support

I do not provide 24-hour crisis services. If a life-threatening crisis should occur, contact a crisis hotline, call 911, or go to a hospital emergency room. As an individual provider who is not in a group practice, I am generally in therapy session during working hours and unavailable outside of working hours. If it is likely that you may need crisis support, let's discuss this so that I can be sure you have the level of care you need. You deserve support that matches your needs.
