How This Website Handles Your Information
In plain English: what this site collects when you use it, how that information is used, and how to ask about it. Last updated November 2026.
What This Site Collects
This website collects only what you type into the contact form: your name, your email address, your phone number if you choose to share it, and your message. If you never fill in the form, the site does not collect any of that.
The site has no sign-in, no booking tools, and no analytics. Like most websites, the hosting service may process basic technical data, such as your IP address, to deliver pages. The typefaces used on this site are hosted here, so no request is sent to Google Fonts or any other font service when a page loads.
How It Is Used
When you send the form, your message is delivered to me by email so I can reply about a free 15-minute consultation. The service that runs the form keeps a limited record of each submission so that no message is lost. Your information is not sold or used for advertising.
Please Keep Health Details for the Consultation
The contact form is not a secure channel for clinical or sensitive personal information. Please don’t include details about your health, history, or diagnoses in your message. A short note about how to reach you is plenty.
This Website and Clinical Records
This website is a way to learn about my practice and get in touch. It is not a clinical record system. If you become a client, your records are kept separately and are governed by my professional and legal obligations as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon.
Asking About or Deleting Your Information
You can ask what information this site holds about you, or ask for it to be deleted, at any time. Send a short note through the contact page saying what you would like, and I will reply to confirm.
Changes to This Policy
If what this website collects changes, this page and the date above will be updated. See the Terms and Accessibility pages for more about using this site.

In Therapy
What you say in session stays in session.
Confidentiality in therapy is protected by law, with a few specific exceptions that I explain at the first appointment. This page does not replace that conversation.

Ready to talk it through?
A free 15-minute consultation is the usual first step.
