If you become a client, information collected in connection with psychotherapy services may be subject to separate confidentiality, privacy, and recordkeeping requirements.

3. COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website traffic, remember preferences, maintain security, and improve the visitor experience.

The website may also use analytics or technology services provided by third parties. These providers may collect information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, and interactions with the website.

You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the website.

4. HOW WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION

We may share personal information only when reasonably necessary for purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Information may be shared with:

Service Providers

We may use third-party companies to help operate the website and practice, including website hosting and platform providers such as Wix, email providers, analytics providers, scheduling providers, security services, and other technology vendors.

These providers may process information on our behalf in order to perform their services.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information if reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws or legal processes

• Respond to lawful requests from government or regulatory authorities

• Protect our legal rights

• Protect the rights, safety, or property of another person

• Investigate fraud, security concerns, or other unlawful activity

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you request, direct, or consent to the disclosure.

5. SALE OR SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not knowingly sell personal information for monetary consideration.

We also do not knowingly use personal information collected through this website for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If our practices change in a way that constitutes a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable California law, we will provide any notices and choices required by law.

6. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, operate the practice, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, and protect legitimate business interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Website information is separate from psychotherapy or clinical records, which may be subject to different legal and professional record-retention requirements.

7. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmitting information over the Internet, email system, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore use discretion when submitting personal or sensitive information electronically.

8. EMAIL AND WEBSITE COMMUNICATIONS

Email and standard website contact forms may not be appropriate for communicating highly sensitive or confidential clinical information.

Submitting an inquiry through this website does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship.

If you are experiencing an emergency or believe you may be in immediate danger, do not use the website contact form or email for emergency assistance. Call 911 or seek appropriate emergency services.

9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

The website may contain links to third-party websites, directories, scheduling tools, maps, professional profiles, or other services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites or services. Your interactions with those services are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

10. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

This website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental or legal guardian authorization.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the request and take appropriate action.

11. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Because the practice is located in California and the website may collect information from California residents, additional California privacy laws may apply.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

California's Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) requires certain commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to make disclosures concerning their privacy practices.

This Privacy Policy describes:

• The categories of personal information we may collect

• How we use that information

• The types of third parties with whom information may be shared

• How you may contact us regarding your information

• How changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated

California Consumer Privacy Act

To the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), applies to us or to particular personal information, California residents may have certain rights regarding their personal information.

These rights may include:

Right to Know and Access

You may have the right to request information regarding the personal information collected about you, including the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, the sources of that information, the purposes for collecting or using it, and the categories of third parties to whom it has been disclosed.

Right to Delete

You may have the right to request deletion of personal information collected from you, subject to exceptions permitted by law.

Right to Correct

You may have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained about you.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

If a business sells personal information or shares it for cross-context behavioral advertising, California residents may have the right to opt out of that activity.

We do not knowingly sell personal information for monetary consideration or knowingly share website visitor information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Right to Limit Certain Uses of Sensitive Personal Information

Where applicable, California residents may have the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information.

We do not intend to use sensitive personal information submitted through this website to infer characteristics about website visitors or for unrelated advertising purposes.

Right to Non-Discrimination

Where applicable, we will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by California law.

Sensitive Personal Information

California law may classify certain information—including health information, sexual orientation, precise geolocation, and certain identification information—as sensitive personal information.

Because this is a psychotherapy website, visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive or clinical information through general website forms or email.

If you voluntarily provide sensitive information when contacting the practice, it will be used as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and provide the services you request, subject to applicable law.

Authorized Agents

Where permitted by California law, you may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf.

We may request reasonable documentation showing that the agent has authority to act for you and may separately verify your identity when permitted or required by law.

Global Privacy Control

Some browsers and browser extensions allow users to send a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal indicating a preference to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

To the extent applicable law requires us to recognize a GPC signal in connection with activities that constitute the sale or sharing of personal information, we will honor qualifying signals as required by law.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.

Because there is not currently a single universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to traditional DNT signals, this website may not respond to DNT signals.

This does not affect our obligation to honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, when applicable.

California “Shine the Light” Law

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits certain California residents to request information regarding disclosure of personal information to third parties for those third parties' own direct-marketing purposes.

We do not disclose personal information collected through this website to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes.

12. HOW TO EXERCISE PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you would like to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided through the website, or if you have another privacy-related request, you may contact us using the information below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Some information may be retained when required or permitted by applicable law.

13. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, website features, or applicable law.

When changes are made, the “
