Professional Boundaries & Disclaimers

Our Relationship

While I hope the information here is helpful, please note that browsing this website or reaching out via my contact form does not create a formal therapist-client relationship. Our professional relationship officially begins once we have both signed a clinical services agreement and completed an initial intake session.

Educational Purpose

The content on this site, including any posts or resources, is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or mental health treatment.

Confidentiality & Its Limits

Your privacy is incredibly important to me. As a licensed social worker in Maryland, I maintain strict confidentiality regarding our work together. However, please be aware that there are specific legal exceptions where I am required by law to report information:

•Safety: If there is a serious threat of physical harm to yourself or others.

•Abuse/Neglect: If I have reason to suspect the abuse or neglect of a child, a vulnerable adult, or an elder.

•Legal Orders: If I am issued a court order or subpoena by a judge.
