CRISIS & SUPPORT RESOURCES
If you need support right now.
I do not provide crisis support.
This practice is not an emergency service and this website is not monitored. If you need immediate support, call or text 988 in the United States or Canada. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.
If you are going through a difficult time and want to talk to someone right away, these lines are free, confidential, and staffed by people trained for exactly this. You do not need to be in danger to call one. You do not need to know what to say first.

If you are my client
Between sessions I am not available for urgent support, and messages are not monitored outside working hours. Use the lines above if something cannot wait, and bring it to our next session so we can look at it together. If you would like a plan for what to do in those moments, we can build one.
