Contacting me:

I maintain regular Telehealth office hours in San Francisco. I'm in the office between 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday with appointments scheduled on the hour beginning at 9:00 AM. If you call me while I'm in session, I will most likely not be able answer directly. When I am unavailable, my telephone is answered by a confidential voice mail that I monitor frequently throughout the day. I will make every effort to return routine calls within two business days (with the exception of weekends and holidays), and 24 hours for more urgent matters. If you are difficult to reach, please provide me with some times when you will be available and please ensure that you clearly leave a telephone number (especially if calling from a cell phone), even if you believe I already have it.

You may also email me at the address listed above or by using my contact form located on the contact form page provided on my website. As with messages left on my answering machine, I monitor email often but may not be able to respond to inquiries immediately. However, please be aware that I do not discuss clinical diagnoses, assessments, or interventions via email.

A few words about email:

Because I can not guarantee the confidentiality of email, I ask that you not use it to share information that you would like to be kept private. Email can be used for the purpose of scheduling and changing appointments or to leave non-clinical messages for me.
