Website privacy notice
A plain-language summary of what this website collects and how it's used, plus the required notice on how to file a complaint. Last updated November 2026.
What this website collects
Contact form. When you send a message, your name, email address, the topic you choose, and your message are delivered to me by email through Netlify, the service that hosts this site. I use that information only to reply to you. Please keep clinical details out of the form; email and web forms are not fully secure channels.
Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are viewed). It doesn't tell me who you are. You can block analytics with a browser extension or your browser's tracking protection.
Scheduling. The "Schedule a free consult" buttons take you to my client portal, run by SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant practice management platform. Information you enter there is governed by SimplePractice's privacy policy and by the Notice of Privacy Practices you'll receive as a client.
What this website doesn't do
- It doesn't sell or share your information with advertisers.
- It doesn't store your messages on the website itself.
- It isn't monitored around the clock, and it can't be used for emergencies.
Clinical records
Once you become a client, your health information is protected under HIPAA and Texas law. You'll receive a full Notice of Privacy Practices and informed consent documents through the client portal before your first session, and we'll review confidentiality and its limits together.
Children
This website isn't intended to collect information from children. Parents or guardians make contact and scheduling requests on a child's behalf.
