Privacy & Communication Policy
Your privacy and safety are very important to me. This page explains how I handle information you share through my website, contact form, email, and secure texting service. Please take a moment to read it before reaching out.
What I Collect:
When you reach out, I may collect:
-
Your name
-
Email address
-
Phone number
-
Any message you share through the contact form, email, or text
I do not store sensitive personal or medical information through these channels. If you need to share details about your health or therapy history, we will do so safely after a session is scheduled, using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
How I Use Your Information:
The information you share helps me:
-
Respond to your inquiries and questions about services
-
Schedule appointments
-
Communicate securely via HIPAA-compliant texting if you choose to use that option
-
I will never sell or share your information for marketing purposes. Your privacy is my priority.
Secure Texting:
If you use the HIPAA-compliant texting service:
-
Messages are encrypted and stored securely
-
You are responsible for keeping your phone secure
-
Avoid sending sensitive medical details unless we have agreed it’s appropriate
-
You can opt out at any time by replying “STOP.”
Contact Form and Email:
Please avoid including sensitive personal or medical information in the contact form or email, as these are not secure channels.
Sending a message through these channels does not create a therapeutic relationship.
Response Time:
I usually respond within 1–2 business days. If your matter is urgent, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
Location:
My practice is in Southeast Central Austin. The exact address will be shared once you schedule a session.
Your Rights:
You can request that I:
-
Review information you’ve shared
-
Correct anything inaccurate
-
Stop receiving non-essential communications
Consent:
By reaching out through the contact form, email, or texting service, you acknowledge that you have read this policy and understand how your information is handled.
