Get in Touch
I see clients by appointment only, Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM. I’m not available on evenings, weekends, or holidays.
I typically return messages within 48 hours. My phone is often set to voicemail unless I’m expecting your call. Please feel free to leave a detailed message.
Important:
If you’re experiencing an emergency or crisis, please do not leave a message or attempt to reach me. Instead, please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 (available 24/7), or dial 911 in case of emergency. Additional hotlines for specific cultural groups can be found here. Additional resources are listed further down this page.
