Free 15-minute consultation

Reaching out starts here.

If picking up the phone to call a stranger about the hardest thing in your life sounds exhausting — I understand, and you don't have to. Fill in what you're comfortable sharing, and I'll take it from there. There's no obligation to continue after the consultation.

What I don't provide

I don't conduct forensic or custody evaluations, and I don't accept engagements as an expert witness.

Consultation and supervision are offered to clinicians about their own practice — not to parties, attorneys, or anyone seeking input on a legal matter.

If you're looking for forensic or expert services, an attorney is usually the best person to help you find the right professional.

On substance use, this practice doesn't provide substance use disorder treatment. If that's your main concern right now, a program that specialises in it will serve you better, and I'm glad to point you toward one.

Please keep this general — no detailed clinical or crisis information here. This form is for scheduling; the substance belongs in our secure sessions. If you're in crisis right now, call or text 988 instead.

This form sends your message to the practice by email and nothing else — no accounts, no tracking. See the Privacy Policy.

What happens next

  • I reply within one business day — by whichever method you chose — to set up a free 15-minute consultation.
  • We talk for 15 minutes about what's going on and whether we're a good fit. No paperwork yet, no pressure.
  • If it's a fit, we schedule a first session over a private, HIPAA-compliant video platform. If it isn't, I'll do my best to point you somewhere better suited.

Your privacy

Before your first session you'll receive my Notice of Privacy Practices — the document that explains how your health information is used and protected, and the rights you have over it. You can read the current version any time:

These practices are subject to change. I reserve the right to revise the notice and to apply the revised version to information already held; the version posted on this site is always the one currently in effect, and you may request a paper copy at any time. Note this is separate from the website privacy policy, which covers only what this site collects.

Prefer to talk from the start? Call or text (808) 520-1802. If I'm in session, leave a message and I'll call you back.
