Office Days & Hours
My office days are Monday - Thursday. I see psychotherapy clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Other days I am consulting, teaching, doing Acess sessions, writing or doing administrative tasks. I see clients from noon to 4:30p on my client days. My sessions are 1 hour and 20 minutes long.
Confidentiality
Washington State Laws have always been very protective of patients rights. All of what you share in session is kept confidential with some exceptions. I am required to report child abuse/neglect, elder or those with developmental disabilities abuse or neglect, or if you commit or contemplate committing a crime (past or present). If I receive a subpoena for your records I can protest them being released but ultimately if a judge orders me to release them I have to. You may authorize me, in writing,am to release or share information to anyone, ie: a family member who will help your treatment, another health care professional to coordinate treatment.
Communicating with Me
I do all communication with clients via telephone. I can be reached at 425-747-5774.
E-mail is other than secure and less reliable in reaching me. There may be days I am unable to get to e-mail. I can be easily reached by voice mail or my Google voice number during business hours and I return calls as soon as possible.
Messages left outside of business hours are returned on the next business day unless you are a client of mine who is having a clinical emergency. Then I return calls as soon as I am able to pick up my messages. You can call the Crisis Clinic at: 206-461-3222 if you require assistance sooner than I am able to get back to you.
