Thank you for your interest in my services. Whether you have questions about my services, want to discuss your therapy needs, or are interested in scheduling a free 15-minute phone consultation, I'm here to help. 


Appointments are generally available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM (Pacific Standard Time).  You can reach me by phone at 858-602-2847. I make it a priority to check my voicemail and email messages multiple times throughout the day during my working hours. While I strive to respond promptly to all inquiries, please understand that I may not always be able to address your questions immediately. Rest assured, I am committed to reaching out to you within 24-48 hours. In the rare event that you do not hear back from me within two business days, please assume that my voicemail or email system experienced a technical issue and kindly leave another message. 


EMERGENCY SITUATIONS: In the event of a life-threatening emergency, dial 911 immediately. Please be aware that I do not provide emergency services and may not be able to respond to urgent situations immediately. If you find yourself in an immediate crisis, I encourage you to contact the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) for immediate assistance. Additional emergency contact numbers can be found on the community resource page for your convenience, addressing a range of urgent situations beyond those mentioned here.
