The contact form and email are not secure channels for sharing personal health or mental health information. Please share only your name, email address, and a brief note about how I can help. We can discuss anything personal during a consultation call. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
